Question

in a poll, 1600 students were asked to choose their favorite from a list of sports. first decide whether more students chose pool, more chose golf, or the same number chose each. then fill in the blank with a whole number. more chose pool in the poll, more chose pool than chose golf. more chose golf in the poll, more chose golf than chose pool. same number for pool as for golf in the poll, students chose each sport.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the number of students who chose Pool

The percentage of students who chose Pool is \(12\%\). The total number of students is \(1600\). To find the number of students who chose Pool, we use the formula \(n = \text{percentage}\times\text{total number of students}\). So, \(n_{\text{Pool}}=0.12\times1600 = 192\).

Step2: Calculate the number of students who chose Golf

The percentage of students who chose Golf is also \(12\%\). Using the same formula \(n = \text{percentage}\times\text{total number of students}\), we get \(n_{\text{Golf}}=0.12\times1600=192\).

Answer:

Same number for Pool as for Golf. In the poll, \(192\) students chose each sport.
