To find out how many students are expected to be Black, non-Hispanic in a public school with 1,000 students, we first need to determine the percentage of Black, non-Hispanic students in the demographic distribution.
Black, non-Hispanic students make up 17% of the total population (100% in total).
To find out how many students out of 1,000 are expected to be Black, non-Hispanic, we calculate:
17% of 1,000 = 0.17 * 1,000 = 170
Therefore, 170 students out of 1,000 are expected to be Black, non-Hispanic.
Use the image to answer the question.
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?
