A city employee collected survey data from 230 randomly selected residents. A total of 865 of these residents said that they thought the city should devote more city funds to repair roads. To the nearest percent, what is a good estimate of the percentage of all residents who thought this?
+36916 Well 865/230 = 376 % SO I think you may have your numbers incorrect?
Maybe 230 out of 836? = 27.5 %
+956 865/230 = 3.7 not 376.
You're probably adding extra zeroes, try it again! :)
Oh yes, I did get them wrong...
