Question

the following segmented bar graph shows whether adults and children enjoy riding roller coasters at least once a year. how many more times likely are children to enjoy riding roller coasters at least once a year than are adults? 2.5 times more likely 2.8 times more likely 3.5 times more likely 4 times more likely roller coaster opinion adults enjoy do not enjoy children

Explanation:

Step1: Estimate adult enjoyment percentage

Assume from the bar - graph that the percentage of adults who enjoy roller coasters is about 30%.

Step2: Estimate children enjoyment percentage

Assume from the bar - graph that the percentage of children who enjoy roller coasters is about 70%.

Step3: Calculate the ratio

To find out how many times more likely children are than adults, divide the children's percentage by the adults' percentage: $\frac{70}{30}=\frac{7}{3}\approx2.3$.

Answer:

2.3 times more likely
