a. among the 520 human resource professionals who were surveyed, how many of them said that body piercings and tattoos were big personal grooming red flags?

(round to the nearest integer as needed )

Explanation:

Step1: Convert the percentage to a decimal

To find the number of people, we first convert \(45.8\%\) to a decimal. \(45.8\%=\frac{45.8}{100}=0.458\)

Step2: Calculate the number of people

We multiply the total number of surveyed people (\(n = 520\)) by the decimal form of the percentage. The formula is \(x=n\times p\), where \(n = 520\) and \(p=0.458\). So \(x = 520\times0.458\)

Since \(238.16\) has a decimal part of \(0.16\lt0.5\), we round down.

Answer:

\(238\)
