A polling company reported that % of surveyed adults said that Complete parts (a) through (d) below.

a. What is the exact value that is 37% of 1018?
b. Could the result from part (a) be the actual number of adults who said that Why or why not?

1. No, the result from part (a) could not be the actual number of adults who said that because that is a very rare opinion.
2. No, the result from part (a) could not be the actual number of adults who said that because a count of people must result in a whole number.
3. Yes, the result from part (a) could be the actual number of adults who said that because the polling numbers are accurate.
4. Yes, the result from part (a) could be the actual number of adults who said that because the results are statistically significant.

c. What could be the actual number of adults who said that The actual number of adults with this opinion could be 296. (Type an integer or a decimal.)
d. Among the 1018 respondents, 415 said that cellular phones are not at all harmful. What percentage of respondents said that cellular phones are not at all harmful?

b) Option 2: No, the result from part (a) could not be the actual number of adults who said that rising gas prices are "quite annoying" because a count of people must result in a whole.

c) 377

d) 40.77%

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 37% of 1018 is;

37/100 × 1018 = 376.66

b) Thus, the result in a above is not a whole number. Thus;

No, the result from part (a) could not be the actual number of adults who said that rising gas prices are "quite annoying" because a count of people must result in a whole.

c) from a above a, we got a value of 376.66.

Now the actual number would be preferably an integer. Thus, actual number is approximately 377.

d) percentage of respondents said that cellular phones are not at all harmful = 415/1018 × 100% = 40.77%
