In a study, 4,400 participants were surveyed regarding side effects of a new medication, and x percent reported experiencing drowsiness. If x is rounded to the nearest integer, the result is 8. Which of the following could be the number of survey participants who reported experiencing drowsiness?
Indicate
all such values.
❑ 325
❑ 330
❑ 352
❑ 375
Now consider the value just below 7.5% (since it can be rounded to nearest integer as 8%)
let us take 7.49% so the number of survey participants = .0749 * 4400 =329.5
so the number should be greater than 329.5 ie option c is an answer
Now consider the maximum value ie 8.5% so the number of survey participants = .085 * 4400 =374
So the number of participants lie between 329.5< participants<374
So option B and C are the possible answer.
