Answers
There is a greater percentage of LA residents who own a car than NYC residents who do
Step-by-step explanation:
Own Car Do not Own Car Total
LA Residents 3251 869 4120
NYC Residents 1478 6182 7660
Total 4729 7051 11780
percentage of LA residents who own a car = (3251/4120) * 100 = 78.9%
percentage of NYC residents who own a car = (1478/7660) * 100 = 19.3%
=> There is a greater percentage of LA residents who own a car than NYC residents who do
The total number of people in the poll who own a car is 4729 not 4120
Do not own car 7051 > 4729 who own cars
There is a greater percentage of LA residents who own a car than NYC residents who do.
Answer:
The correct answer is B. There is a greater percentage of LA residents who own a car than NYC residents who do.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the percentage of LA residents who own a car= (3251/11780)×100 =27.6% ( approx)
the percentage of NYC residents who own a car= (1478/11780)×100 = 12.54 % ( approx)
Therefore Option 2) is correct.
