how does your data compare?

1. about what percent of gen z surveyed said they enjoy candy corn?
2. how many people surveyed said they start with the white narrow end when eating candy corn?
3. which generation surveyed had the lowest percentage of people say they like candy corn?
4. about how many more people surveyed planned to buy candy corn than licorice?

Explanation:

Step1: For Q1, Gen Z candy corn enjoyment

• Need infographic data, but generally, Gen Z's candy corn enjoyment percentage is estimated (actual from infographic, but example given).

Step2: For Q2, White narrow end eaters

• Given percentage (28%) and total surveyed (1500, from handwritten \(.28(1500)\)).
• Calculate: \(0.28\times1500 = 420\).

Step3: For Q3, Lowest generation

• Analyze generations: Baby Boomers often have lower candy corn enjoyment in surveys, so infer D.

Step4: For Q4, More people buying candy corn vs licorice

• Total surveyed: 1008 (handwritten). Candy corn %: 31%, licorice %: 17%.
• Subtract percentages: \(31\% - 17\% = 14\%\).
• Multiply by total: \(1008\times0.14 = 141.12\approx141\).

Answer:

1. (Assuming typical survey data for Gen Z and candy corn enjoyment, a common value might be around 40% - 50%, but since the infographic details are partial, if we infer from common surveys, let's say) 45% (note: actual answer depends on infographic data, but for example)
2. If the percentage for starting with white narrow end is 28% and total surveyed is 1500 (from the handwritten note \(.28(1500)\)), then \(0.28\times1500 = 420\)
3. (Typically, Baby Boomers might have the lowest, but again depends on infographic. If infographic shows Baby Boomers with lowest, then) D. Baby Boomers
4. If total surveyed is 1008, candy corn planned buy % is 31%, licorice is 17%: \(1008\times0.31 - 1008\times0.17 = 1008\times(0.31 - 0.17)=1008\times0.14 = 141.12\approx141\)
