Question
In a survey, 100 people were asked if they smoke and whether or not they exercise regularly (more than twice a week). The results are summarized in the table below. Smoke Do not smokeExercise regularly 4 17Do not exercise regularly 21 58(a) What percentage of the people do not exercise regularly?(b) What percentage of the people smoke?
Solution
(a) To find the percentage of people who do not exercise regularly, you add the number of smokers and non-smokers who do not exercise regularly. This gives you 21 (smokers) + 58 (non-smokers) = 79 people. To find the percentage, you divide this by the total number of people surveyed (100) and multiply by 100. So, (79/100)*100 = 79%.
(b) To find the percentage of people who smoke, you add the number of smokers who exercise regularly and those who do not. This gives you 4 (exercise regularly) + 21 (do not exercise regularly) = 25 people. To find the percentage, you divide this by the total number of people surveyed (100) and multiply by 100. So, (25/100)*100 = 25%.
