Answer:
[tex]Percentage = 20\%[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Heights: 65\ 63\ 66\ 62\ 59\ 69\ 69\ 60\ 70\ 68[/tex]
[tex]Total = 10[/tex]
Required
Determine the percentage of those shorter than 61
To do this, we need to get the number of those that fall in this category:
[tex]Shorter\ than\ 61:\ 59\ 60[/tex]
[tex]Number = 2[/tex]
The percentage is then calculated as thus:
[tex]Percentage = \frac{Number}{Total} * 100\%[/tex]
[tex]Percentage = \frac{2}{10} * 100\%[/tex]
[tex]Percentage = \frac{200\%}{10}[/tex]
[tex]Percentage = 20\%[/tex]
