Verified Answer :

Assuming the question wants to know how many fans plan on coming to atleast 20 games,

You look at the histogram, sum up the number of fans greater than x=20, that is the last 4 bars.

These are \(15+12+4+1=32\)

Hence, A is the correct answer.


For 2nd question, it is a weighted average, not a normal average. We need to multiply each score by the percentage it is worth and then divide by the total percentage. We have,

Expected final average (or weighted average) = \(\frac{(85*0.1)+(90*0.15)+(80*0.25)+(100*0.5)}{0.1+0.15+0.25+0.5} \\\frac{92}{1}\\ 92\) percent

Hence, D is the correct answer.


ANSWER:

First Question: A

Second Question: D
