Answer 1

To find the missing value in the table, we can use the totals provided in the table.

1. Determine the total number of middle school students: The total for the "Likes pickles" row is given as 97 for high school students and the total for "Does not like pickles" is 8 for middle school, plus an unknown value (?) for "Likes pickles". The total for middle school students is listed as 100.

2. Set up the equation: \[ \text{Likes pickles (Middle School)} + \text{Does not like pickles (Middle School)} = \text{Total Middle School Students} \] \[ ? + 8 = 100 \]

3. Solve for the unknown value (?): \[ ? = 100 - 8 = 92 \]

Thus, the missing value in the table for the "Likes pickles" row of middle school students is 92.
