In a recent survey, 40 percent indicated chocolate was their favorite flavor of ice cream. suppose we select a sample of twelve people and ask them to name their favorite flavor of ice cream. a. how many of those in the sample would you expect to name chocolate?

4 people name chocolate

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first understand the given information.

The survey shows that 40 percent of a finite number of people name chocolate as their favorite flavor of ice cream. Because the survey is reporting a percentage, then 40% means that from 100 people 40 people name chocolate, while the others name a different type of flavor.

Dividing the total of people (100) by the ones who name chocolate (40) then we have:

100/40 = 2.5

Through the above equation we are actually expressing the following:

Total people = 2.5 * (people who name chocolate flavor)

Using this equation if we have now 12 people:

12 = 2.5 * (people who name chocolate flavor)

12/2.5 = (people who name chocolate flavor)

4.8 = people who chose chocolate flavor

Because we can't have 0.8 of a person, then if we have a sample of 12 people, we will expect that 4 of them name chocolate.

the slope of the line is 60

one point on the line is (40,10)

step-by-step explanation:

in the equation outside the parenthesis the equation always tells you the slope. in this case it is 60.

in the parenthesis is also says 40 which is x because it is near the x and 10 is y because it is near y.

900 degrees
