a total of juniors and seniors were surveyed.
a total of 6 seniors are not attending the homecoming game.
use the data in the frequency table to determine each percent.
freshmen represent approximately % of the students

Explanation:

Step1: Find the total number of juniors and seniors surveyed

To find the total number of juniors and seniors surveyed, we add the total number of juniors and the total number of seniors.
The total number of juniors is \(38\) and the total number of seniors is \(38\).
So, the calculation is \(38 + 38\).

Step2: Calculate the sum

\(38+38 = 76\)

Step3: Find the percentage of freshmen

The total number of students is \(174\) (from the bottom - right cell of the table). The number of freshmen is \(48\).
The formula for percentage is \(\frac{\text{Number of freshmen}}{\text{Total number of students}}\times100\).
So, \(\frac{48}{174}\times 100=\frac{4800}{174}\approx 27.6\)

Answer:

A total of \(76\) juniors and seniors were surveyed. Freshmen represent approximately \(27.6\%\) of the students.
