Question

Horizontal axis with evenly spaced dollar amount labels: less than $600, $600 to $650, $650 to $699, $700 to $749, and last label is greater than $749. Vertical axis has evenly spaced tick marks labeled 10, 20, 30, and 40. Bar 1 is at less than $600, with a height of 5 Bar 2 is at $600 to $649, with height up to 25. Bar 3 is at $650 to $699, with height up to 45. Bar 4 is at f$700 to $749, with height up to 25. Bar 5 is at greater than $749, with height up to 5. Bar 6 is from 15.1 hypen 18 with height 12. Bar 7 is from 18.1 hypen 21 with height 6. Estimate the percent of apartment residents who pay less than $700 per month. (1 point) Responses 60% 60% 75% 75% 50% 50% 55%

Answer 1

To estimate the percent of apartment residents who pay less than $700 per month, we need to find the total height of the bars for less than $700.

Total height for less than $700:
5 (Bar 1) + 25 (Bar 2) + 45 (Bar 3) + 25 (Bar 4) = 100

Total height for all bars:
100 (Total height for less than $700) + 5 (Bar 5) + 12 (Bar 6) + 6 (Bar 7) = 123

To find the percent of apartment residents who pay less than $700 per month, we divide the total height for less than $700 by the total height for all bars and multiply by 100:

(100/123) * 100 = 81.3%

Therefore, the estimated percent of apartment residents who pay less than $700 per month is 81.3%.
