Answers
Answer:
Q1When 10 people liked classical music, number of people surveyed is 100
So, When 1 person liked the classical music, number of people surveyed is
100
10
When 20 people like the classical music, number of people surveyed
=100/10*20=200.
Q2Light music is liked by maximum number of people
Q3Number of CD’s for different music
•Semi Classical
Semi Classical =1000*20%=200
•CLASSICAL=1000*10%=100
•FOLK=1000*30%=300
•LIGHT=1000*40%=400
i) let the people surveyed = x
Classical music = 10% of x
10% of x. = 20
10 × x / 100 = 20
x. = 2000/10
x = 200
ii) light
iii) Total CD's 1000
Light = 40% of 1000
= 40 × 1000 / 100
= 400
Folk = 30% of 1000 = 300
Semi Classical. = 200
Classical. = 100
