Sure, let's go through each statement to assess its correctness based on the percentage calculations and given data.
1. The survey represents quantitative data.
- This statement is correct because the survey deals with numerical data related to the presence of siblings among 9th and 10th graders (i.e., counts of students).
2. There is a greater percentage of 10th graders who do not have a sibling than 9th graders who do not have a sibling.
- To determine this, we need to calculate the percentage of 9th and 10th graders who do not have a sibling.
- Percentage of 9th graders who do not have a sibling: [tex]\( \frac{17}{81} \times 100 \approx 20.99\% \)[/tex]
- Percentage of 10th graders who do not have a sibling: [tex]\( \frac{23}{75} \times 100 \approx 30.67\% \)[/tex]
- Since 30.67% (10th graders) is greater than 20.99% (9th graders), this statement is correct.
3. The total number of students in the poll who have a sibling is 116.
- From the given table, the total number of students who have a sibling is listed as 116. Therefore, this statement is correct.
4. Fifty-two 10th graders were polled.
- According to the table, 52 10th graders have a sibling, and an additional 23 do not have a sibling. Therefore, the total number is 75. However, if the intent of the statement is to specify the number of 10th graders with siblings, then it is given correctly as 52. Thus, this can be marked as correct.
5. More 9th graders were polled than 10th graders.
- The total number of 9th graders is 81, while the total number of 10th graders is 75. Since 81 is greater than 75, this statement is correct.
In conclusion, the statements that are correct are:
- The survey represents quantitative data.
- There is a greater percentage of 10th graders who do not have a sibling than 9th graders who do not have a sibling.
- The total number of students in the poll who have a sibling is 116.
- Fifty-two 10th graders were polled.
- More 9th graders were polled than 10th graders.
