Explanation:

Step1: Determine sections for Q9

Bar has 5 equal sections; 2 shaded (voted tiger).

Step2: Calculate tiger percentage Q9

$\frac{2}{5} = 40\%$ (voted tiger).

Step3: Calculate non-tiger Q9

$100\% - 40\% = 60\% > 50\%$.

Step4: Determine sections for Q10

Bar has 10 equal sections; 7 shaded (going to camp).

Step5: Calculate camp percentage Q10

$\frac{7}{10} = 70\% < 75\%$.

Step6: Calculate percentage for Q11

$\frac{5}{25} = 0.2 = 20\%$.

Step7: Evaluate student's claim Q12

Percent means per 100, so $x\% = \frac{x}{100}$; student is correct.

Answer:

1. Yes, more than 50% did not vote for tiger (60% did not).
2. No, only 70% are going (less than 75%).
3. 20%
4. Yes, the student is correct.
