Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the two - highest percentages

To answer the first question, we look for the two largest percentages in the pie - chart. The Giants (29%) and the Reds (21%) have the two largest percentages.

Step2: Compare percentages for Tigers and Giants

For the second question, compare the percentages of Tigers (13%) and Giants (29%). Since 29%>13%, the Giants are more popular.

Step3: Calculate the sum for Yankees and Braves

For the third question, add the percentages of Yankees (11%) and Braves (12%). 11% + 12%=23%.

Step4: Calculate sums for different pairs

For the fourth question, calculate the sum of Tigers and Giants (13% + 29% = 42%) and the sum of Pirates and Reds (14%+21% = 35%). Since 42%>35%, Tigers and Giants were picked more.

Step5: Calculate the number for Reds

For the fifth question, if there are 200 listeners and the percentage of those who picked Reds is 21%, we use the formula $n = p\times N$, where $p = 0.21$ and $N = 200$. So $n=0.21\times200 = 42$.

Answer:

  1. Giants and Reds
  2. Giants
  3. 23%
  4. Tigers and Giants were picked more
  5. 42
