Use the image to answer the question. Interpret the data represented in the circle graph, which shows the average percentage breakdown of demographics in public schools in the United States. If a particular U.S. public school has 1,000 students in it, how many are expected to be Black, non-Hispanic? (1 point) Responses 170 170 1,700 1,700 160 160 17

1 answer

To determine the number of Black, non-Hispanic students in a U.S. public school with 1,000 students based on the circle graph, you'll need to know the percentage breakdown for that demographic. If the graph indicates that, for example, Black, non-Hispanic students represent 17% of the student population, you would calculate the expected number of students as follows:

\( \text{Number of Black, non-Hispanic students} = \text{Total number of students} \times \text{Percentage of Black, non-Hispanic students} \)

Using the hypothetical 17%:

\( 1,000 \times 0.17 = 170 \)

Thus, if the percentage breakdown for Black, non-Hispanic students is indeed 17%, then you would expect 170 students to be Black, non-Hispanic in that school.

If this percentage is what is represented in the graph, then that would be your answer. Therefore, the correct response is 170.
