A pie chart shows a sector of 150 degrees representing 50 students. Determine the total number of students surveyed.
[3 marks]
10.
A survey reports that 60 students prefer baseball, which is 30% of the total students. Calculate the total number of students.
[3 marks]
11.
A pie chart shows a sector of 72 degrees representing a certain number of students. If the total number of students is 180, how many students does this sector represent?
[3 marks]
12.
Common mistake: A student calculates the frequency correctly as 30, but then mistakenly thinks the total students are 100. Identify and correct the mistake based on the sector angle being 108 degrees and total students being 180.
