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?

a. 17
b. 160
c. 1,700
d. 170

7 answers

The percentage breakdown for Black, non-Hispanic students is 17%. Therefore, in a public school with 1,000 students, the number of Black, non-Hispanic students is expected to be 17% of 1,000, which is 170 students.

So, the correct answer is:

d. 170
A pie chart shows the age distribution in the United States in year 2020 as follows: 0 to 14 years, 18; 15 to 64 years, 65; and 65 plus, 17. Each segment of the pie chart shows a different pattern.

determine what percentage of all Americans are younger than 65 years old

a. 18%
b. 83%
c. 65%
d. 17%
To determine the percentage of all Americans younger than 65 years old, we need to add the percentages for the age groups 0 to 14 years and 15 to 64 years:

Percentage of Americans 0 to 14 years old = 18%
Percentage of Americans 15 to 64 years old = 65%

Therefore, the percentage of all Americans younger than 65 years old is 18% + 65% = 83%

So, the correct answer is:

b. 83%
A pie chart shows the following distribution: A equals 8; B equals 12; C equals 5; D equals 3; F equals 2. Each segment of the pie chart shows a different pattern.

What percentage of students scored a B or higher on the exam? Round the answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary

a. 66.7%
b. 20%
c. 40%
d. 26.7%
To find the percentage of students who scored a B or higher on the exam, we need to add the number of students who scored a B, C, D, and F.

Number of students who scored B or higher = B + C + D + F = 12 + 5 + 3 + 2 = 22

Total number of students = A + B + C + D + F = 8 + 12 + 5 + 3 + 2 = 30

Percentage of students who scored B or higher = (22/30) * 100 = 73.3%

Rounded to the nearest tenth, the percentage is 73.3%, which is closest to:

a. 66.7%
Create a graphical representation of the following dataset representing the shoe sizes of a kindergarten class:
10.5,11,10,10.5,11,10.5,11.5,10,9,9.5,10,10.5,10.5,10,11

a. An illustration shows a scatterplot. The x-axis is labeled shoe size and ranges from 9 to 13 in one unit increments. The y-axis is labeled student age and ranges from 0 to 8 in 2 unit increments. Points are plotted on the graph indicating values for each shoe size. The value for shoe size 9 is 5. The value for shoe size 9.5 is 5. The values for shoe size 10 are 5 and 6. The values for shoe size 10.5 are 5 and 6. The values for shoe size 11 are 5 and 6. The value for shoe size 11.5 is 6.

b. An illustration shows a bar graph. The x-axis is labeled shoe size and ranges from 9 to 11 and one half in half size increments. The y-axis is labeled frequency and ranges from 0 to 5 in one unit increments. The bar value for shoe size 9 is 1. The value for size 9.5 is 1. The value for size 10 is 4. The value for size 10.5 is 5. The value for size 11 is 3. The value for size 11.5 is 1.

c. An illustration shows a horizontal histogram. The x-axis is not labeled, but 5 vertical lines extend upward and parallel to the y-axis. The y-axis shows 3 value ranges. The value for the range of 9 to 9.5 extends to 4 vertical lines.The value for 10 to 10.5 extends to 5 vertical lines. The value for 11 to 11.5 extends to 2 vertical lines.

d. An illustration shows a line graph. The x-axis is labeled shoe size and ranges from 9 to 11 and one half in half size increments. The y-axis is labeled frequency and ranges from 0 to 5 in one unit increments. Points are plotted on the graph indicating values for each shoe size. A line connects the points. The value for shoe size 9 is 1. The value for size 9.5 is 1. The value for size 10 is 4. The value for size 10.5 is 5. The value for size 11 is 3. The value for size 11.5 is 1.
b. An illustration shows a bar graph. The x-axis is labeled shoe size and ranges from 9 to 11 and a half in half-size increments. The y-axis is labeled frequency and ranges from 0 to 5 in one unit increments. The bar value for shoe size 9 is 1. The value for size 9.5 is 1. The value for size 10 is 4. The value for size 10.5 is 5. The value for size 11 is 3. The value for size 11.5 is 1.
