  From Lucy: Hi, 
The question is: 
Samoa 23% 
Brazil 41% 
Sri Lanka 52% 
Senegal 39%  
Armenia 37% 
Croatia 20% 
Why is the following statement true for the data above: More than half of the people said they were interested in Sri Lanka. The reason I don't understand the problem is that because the percentages add up to be greater than 100%, that means that the 500 people(as stated in the question) who participated in the survey got to pick more than once. Therefore, it is not 52% out of 100% anymore. 
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. Answered by Robert Dawson. |
