Hello, I'm working as a teacher on a secondary school. Unfortunately, I teach no math, so I need your help with this case:
One of my students did a survey for her research project about discrimination on the Dutch labor market. However, the results were wrong. Why is that? She told that 100 people responded on the survey. She asked them all about their gender. 61.3% are female and 38.7% are male. Since every person is 1%, it is not possible to get the numbers behind the dot. Skipping the question was no option, they really had to choose one answer.
In addition to the 61.3% and 38.7%:
She also asked: Where are you from?
29.0% said Netherlands
12.9% said Marocco
6.5% said Turkey
3.2% said Latin-America
6.5% said Germany
41.9% said somewhere else
Later on she asks:
Were you ever a victim of discrimination?
29.0% said yes
71.0% said no.
Idk if this information also helps to find the answer.
So my question is; is it possible to calculate the amount of total respondents? How do you do it? I like to know how many people responded to her survey. Thank you!
Note: I think the student is cheating.
