The given Pie chart is:

02

Step 2. Find what percentage of first-year students intend to study business and What about social science.

If we observe the given pie chart carefully after dividing this pie chart into quarters and then further dividing these quarters into subparts, we will find that around one-fifth of the area of the circle constitutes the business segment.

That means around 20%:

15脳100=20%

And that around one-tenth of the area of the circle constitutes the social science segment.

That means around 10%:

110脳100=10%

A smash or a hit?Researchers asked 150 subjects to recall the details of a car accident they watched on video. Fifty subjects were randomly assigned to be asked, 鈥淎bout how fast were the cars going when they smashed into each other?鈥� For another 50 randomly assigned subjects, the words 鈥渟mashed into鈥� were replaced with 鈥渉it.鈥� The remaining 50 subjects鈥攖he control group鈥攚ere not asked to estimate speed. A week later, all subjects were asked if they saw any broken glass at the accident (there wasn鈥檛 any). The table shows each group鈥檚 response to the broken glass question.

(a) What proportion of subjects were given the control treatment?

(b) Find the distribution of responses about whether there was broken glass at the accident for the subjects in this study using relative frequencies.

(c) What percent of the subjects were given the 鈥渟mashed into鈥� treatment and said they saw broken glass at the accident?
