Question

Survey: 100 people were asked if they like dogs or cats. Using the two-way table, what percent of the females only said they like cats?

A. 48/100 = 48%


B. 39/100 = 39%


C. 39/48 = 81%


D. 49/100 = 49%​

Answer 1

C. 39/48 = 81%

Explanation:

To determine the percentage of females who only said they like cats using the given two-way table, we need to find the number of females who selected "cats" only and divide it by the total number of females surveyed. We can then multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.

According to the provided two-way table:

Number of females who only said they like cats = 39

Total number of females surveyed = 48

To calculate the percentage:

Percentage of females who only said they like cats = (Number of females who only like cats / Total number of females surveyed) * 100

Percentage of females who only said they like cats = (39 / 48) * 100 ≈ 81.25%

Therefore, the correct option is:

C. 39/48 = 81%
