Estimate the number of people per 100 who spelled weird correctly. Round to the nearest 5. b. In a group consisting of 8724 randomly selected​ people, estimate how many more people can correctly spell weird than inoculate.

Answer 1

Answer:

a). 85 people

b). 4362 people

Step-by-step explanation:

The given bar graph shows how many people per 100 spelled each word correctly.

a. From the graph given extreme end of the bar for the word "weird" is between 80 - 90.

Therefore, approximate number of the persons who spelled weird correctly will be 85 (rounded to the nearest 5).

b. The number of people who can correctly spelled word "weird" = 85

The number of people who can correctly spelled word "inoculate" = 35

In 100 people, number of people who can correctly spell "weird" more than "inoculate"

= 85 - 35

= 50

in a group of 8724 randomly selected people, number of people who can spell the word "weird" correctly more than "inoculate"

= $\frac{50}{100}\times 8724$

= 4362 people
