Question

Use the following information to answer the next two exercises: Suppose one hundred eleven people who shopped in a special t-shirt store were asked the number of t-shirts they own costing more than $\backslash (19$each.

The percentage of people who own at most three t-shirts costing more than $\backslash )19$each is approximately:

$$\begin{gathered} a.21 \\ b.59 \\ c.41 \\ d.Cannotbedetermined \end{gathered}$$

Short answer

The correct option is c. 41 .

Step-by-step solution

Given information

We are given the below histogram:

Calculation 

There are $5$people who possess a $1$T-shirt, $17$people who own a $17$T-shirt, and $23$people who own three t-shirts, according to the histogram. The study has a total of $111$participants.

The following formula is used to calculate the percentage of people who own at least three t-shirts that cost more than $\$19$:

$\frac{5+17+23}{111}\times 100\%=\frac{45}{111}\times 100\%\approx 41\%$

As a result, c. 41 is the best choice.
