If a frequency distribution shows that $28\%$ of $25$ families have $2$ children, how many families is that?

A$14$ families
B$5$ families
C$7$ families
D$28$ families
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. $7$ families
Multiply: $0.28 \times 25 = 7$. - Trap D ($28$) treats the percent as a count. - Trap A and C miscompute. Quick check: with the relative frequency $28\% = 7/25$, we recover the original frequency table directly.
