In which major can you find the highest percentage of students who prefer NYC?



Answer :

Sure! Let's solve this question step-by-step.

The table provides the results of a survey about travel destination preferences for 750 university students from 4 different majors: History, Math, Audit, and IT. We need to determine in which major the highest percentage of students prefer NYC as their travel destination.

First, we'll extract the relevant information from the table for each major:

1. Total students of each major:
- History: 250
- Math: 275
- Audit: 125
- IT: 100

2. Students who prefer NYC in each major:
- History: 70
- Math: 60
- Audit: 30
- IT: 40

Next, we need to calculate the percentage of students who prefer NYC in each major.

3. Calculating percentages:
- History: [tex]\(\frac{70}{250} \times 100 = 28.0\%\)[/tex]
- Math: [tex]\(\frac{60}{275} \times 100 = 21.82\%\)[/tex]
- Audit: [tex]\(\frac{30}{125} \times 100 = 24.0\%\)[/tex]
- IT: [tex]\(\frac{40}{100} \times 100 = 40.0\%\)[/tex]

4. Find the highest percentage:
- History: 28.0%
- Math: 21.82%
- Audit: 24.0%
- IT: 40.0%

We compare these percentages, and it is clear that the highest percentage of students who prefer NYC is among IT majors, with 40.0%.

Therefore, the major in which you can find the highest percentage of students who prefer NYC is IT.
