Answer
Statement 1 is false.
Statement 2 and 3 are true.
The false statement includes
52% of the boys surveyed prefer mint chocolate chip ice cream.
The true statements include
- Approximately 20% of girls surveyed said they preferred mint chocolate chip ice cream.
- A total of 92 students prefer mint chocolate chip ice cream.
Explanation
To answer this question and check which statement is true or false, we need to complete the table.
Mint Choc Chip | Cookies N Cream | Cookie Dough | Other | Total
Boys | 52 | 43 | 67 | 34 | 196
Girls | 40 | 59 | 61 | 41 | 201
Total | 92 | 102 | 128 | 75 | 397
Then, we can check the statements one at a time,
Statement 1
52% of the boys surveyed prefer mint chocolate chip ice cream.
Number of boys who prefer mint chocolate ice cream = 52
Total number of boys surveyed = 196
Percent of boys surveyed who prefer mint chocolate chip ice cream = (52/196) = 0.2653 = 26.53%
26.53% ≠ 52%
This statement is false.
Statement 2
Approximately 20% of girls surveyed said they preferred mint chocolate chip ice cream. *
Number of girls who prefer mint chocolate ice cream = 40
Total number of girls surveyed = 201
Percent of girls surveyed who prefer mint chocolate chip ice cream = (40/201) = 0.199 = 19.9% = 20% to the nearest percent
This statement is then true indeed.
Statement 3
A total of 92 students prefer mint chocolate chip ice cream.
Total number of students that prefer mint chocolate chip ice cream = 52 + 40 = 92
This statement is true.
Hope this Helps!!!
