Answer 1

Answer:

Option C) No, the result from part (a) could not be the actual number of adults who said that rising gas prices are "very harmful" because a count of people must result in a whole-number.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the equation:

47​% of 1013 surveyed adults said that rising gas prices are "very harmful."

a)  exact value that is 47% of 1013

$\dfrac{47}{100}\times 1013 = 476.11$

b) No, this cannot be the actual number of people who said that rising gas prices are "very harmful".

Because number of people in the survey is a discrete data and hence, always expressed in the form of whole numbers and not decimals.

Thus, 476.11 cannot be the number of people who said that rising gas prices are "very harmful".

Option C) No, the result from part (a) could not be the actual number of adults who said that rising gas prices are "very harmful" because a count of people must result in a whole-number.
