A pie chart shows the following demographic distribution: White, 61; Hispanic, 16; Black non-Hispanic, 17; Asian-Pacific Islander, 5; and Indigenous American and Alaskan Natives, 1. Each segment of the pie chart shows a different pattern.
Interpret the data represented in the circle graph, which shows the average percentage breakdown of demographics in public schools in the United States. If a particular U.S. public school has 1,000 students in it, how many are expected to be Black, non-Hispanic?
To find the number of Black, non-Hispanic students in a U.S. public school with 1,000 students, we first need to calculate the percentage of Black, non-Hispanic students in the demographic breakdown.
Black, non-Hispanic = 17% of 100%
Black, non-Hispanic = 0.17 * 100
Black, non-Hispanic = 17%
So, in a U.S. public school with 1,000 students, we can expect 17% of them to be Black, non-Hispanic.
Black, non-Hispanic students in a U.S. public school with 1,000 students = 0.17 * 1,000
Black, non-Hispanic students in a U.S. public school with 1,000 students = 170
Therefore, there are expected to be 170 Black, non-Hispanic students in a U.S. public school with 1,000 students.
