Use the table to answer the question. Subject Number of Students English 6 Math 4 History 3 Science 5 Other 3 Mrs. Guajardo has 135 students taking her Algebra 2 class. She surveys the 21 students in her first-period class about their favorite school subject. Calculate the percentage of students in the sample who reported math as their favorite subject. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. (1 point)
To calculate the percentage of students in the sample who reported math as their favorite subject, we first need to determine the number of students in the sample who reported math as their favorite subject.
From the table, we see that there are 4 students who reported math as their favorite subject.
To calculate the percentage, we use the formula:
Percentage = (Number of students who reported math as their favorite subject / Total number of students in the sample) * 100
Plugging in the values:
Percentage = (4 / 21) * 100
Percentage = 0.190476 * 100
Percentage ≈ 19%
Therefore, approximately 19% of the students in the sample reported math as their favorite subject.
