1. A researcher collected data from car shoppers about their favorite car color. He asked 250 people about their favorite vehicle color and the survey revealed the following: 32% said blue, 24% said white, 20% said red, 18% said black, and 4% said silver.

(a) What percent preferred a color other than blue, white, red, black, or silver?
(3 pts: 2 for answer, 1 for showing work)

(b) How many more people said their favorite color is white compared to those who said black? (3 pts – 2 for answer, 1 for showing work)

(c) Draw and label a circle graph showing the responses to the survey. Be sure to include a section for “Other”. Be sure your circle graph is labeled, and the percentages are in proportion to the whole. (2 pts – 1 for correctly showing percentages and 1 for labeling)

Part A. 2% preferred a color other than blue, white, red, black, or silver.

Part B. 6% more people said their favorite color is white compared to those who said black.

Part C. You can find the circle graph below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A. What percent preferred a color other than blue, white, red, black, or silver?

Percent = 100 - 32 - 24 - 20 - 18 - 4

Percent = 100 - 98

Percent = 2%

2% preferred a color other than blue, white, red, black, or silver

Part B. How many more people said their favorite color is white compared to those who said black?

Percent = 24 - 18

Percent = 6%

6% more people said their favorite color is white compared to those who said black

Part C. Draw and label a circle graph showing the responses to the survey. Be sure to include a section for “Other”. Be sure your circle graph is labeled, and the percentages are in proportion to the whole.
