Problem 4

In Lake City, boys in the 8

grade were also surveyed. The results of this survey are shown in the circle graph

below.

1) Seventy-two boys liked basketball best. How many boys were there in the 8th grade survey? ____________

Show your calculations.

The 8

grade baseball teams from Lake City and Appleton plan to play a game.

Luis has seen a survey of Appleton’s 8

grade boys’ favorite sports. The survey shows that 50% of them like

baseball best.

Luis says that this will not be fair because more boys in Appleton like baseball best, so there will be more boys

to choose from for the team.

Kyle says he thinks Luis is wrong.

2) Explain why Luis might be wrong in thinking that more boys prefer baseball in Appleton than

in Lake City.
