Question

The graph shows the results of asking people which sport is their favorite sport to watch on television. Which statements are true?

Choose exactly two answers that are correct.
a) About twice as many people chose football as soccer.
b) More people chose soccer than baseball.
c) The ratio of people who chose hockey to those who chose football is about 1 to 4.
d) Fewer than 100 people were asked which sport was their favorite sport to watch on television.

Answer 1

A) and C). An estimate of how many people said soccer is about 22x2=44(about how many said football), so A is true. An estimate for how many people said football (around 44) divided by how many said hockey (around 12) gives us an answer that rounds up to four, so our ration is 1 to 4 and therefore, C is also correct.
