The 5th graders at Scottsville Elementary were randomly
surveyed. They were asked if they wanted to go on a field trip or
have a picnic at the end of the year. The results are shown in the
table.
How many of the 100 5th grade students would you expect to
want to go on a field trip?
Based on the table provided, 60% of the students want to go on a field trip.
To find out how many students would be expected to want to go on a field trip, we can multiply the total number of students by the percentage that want to go on a field trip:
100 students * 0.60 = 60 students
Therefore, we would expect 60 out of the 100 5th grade students to want to go on a field trip.
