Math Problem Statement
survey of 500 people were asked this same question and the results were recorded in a tree diagram in terms of percentages where M = male, F = female, E = eats breakfast, D = doesn't eat breakfast 11.4.9
a. How many males are in the sample?
b. How many females are in the sample?
c. How many males in the sample eat breakfast?
d. How many females in the sample do not eat breakfast?
e. What is the probability of selecting a female who doesn't eat breakfast? Round your answer to two decimal places.
Solution
Given the problem involves a tree diagram with percentages and a survey of 500 people, let's approach the problem step-by-step, assuming the typical structure of a tree diagram.
Let's define the percentages based on the data provided:
To solve the problem, we'll need to use the provided percentages. Since the values seem to be shorthand or incomplete ("11.4.9"), I’ll assume they represent percentages. Here’s a common interpretation:
- The percentage of males: let's denote as %.
- The percentage of males who eat breakfast and those who don't: let’s assume these are % and % respectively.
- The remaining percentages apply similarly to females.
Now, based on typical values of , let’s solve the questions:
a. How many males are in the sample?
Let’s assume 50% of the sample are males.
b. How many females are in the sample?
Since the remaining percentage would be females:
c. How many males in the sample eat breakfast?
Assume of males eat breakfast.
d. How many females in the sample do not eat breakfast?
Assume of females don’t eat breakfast.
e. What is the probability of selecting a female who doesn't eat breakfast?
Rounding to two decimal places:
Would you like me to refine values to match the tree diagram, or expand any details?
