In a study, 250 of 1000 surveyed people preferred Brand A. What is the proportion as a DECIMAL?
A0.025
B0.25
C2.5
D25
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. 0.25
Proportion = 250/1000 = 0.25 (or 25%). Option A is off by a factor of 10; C and D treat it as a percentage but stated as decimal would be 0.25 not 25.
