23+ | 70 | 67 |
Approximately what percent of students in the sample do not use Facebook? Round your answer to the nearest percent.
The number of students who do not use facebook is calculated by counting the total number of students in the row shown in the blue box. We add to find the total number of students in that row to get the total number as 71.
Age | Uses Facebook | Does not Uses Facebook | Total |
18 to 22 | 78 | 4 | 82 |
23+ | 70 | 67 | 137 |
Total | 148 | 71 | 219 |
The percentage is calculated by dividing 71 with the total number of students which is 219
So, the percentage is `\frac{71}{219}` = 0.3242 `\times` 100
= 32.4221971
= 0.3242×100
= 32.42%
So, approximately 32% of the sample of students do not use Facebook.
