A pie chart shows the following demographic distribution: White, 61; Hispanic, 16; Black non-Hispanic, 17; Asian-Pacific Islander, 5; and Indigenous American and Alaskan Natives, 1. Each segment of the pie chart shows a different pattern.

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?

Answer 1

To find the expected number of Black non-Hispanic students in a U.S. public school with 1,000 students, we can use the percentage representation from the pie chart.

The pie chart shows:

• Black non-Hispanic: 17%

To calculate the number of Black non-Hispanic students:

\[ \text{Number of Black non-Hispanic students} = \frac{17}{100} \times 1000 \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ \text{Number of Black non-Hispanic students} = 0.17 \times 1000 = 170 \]

Therefore, the expected number of Black non-Hispanic students in the school is 170.
