Work Step by Step
The answer in part (a), which is 118,299, is less than the answer in Exercise 57, which is 128, 781.
This is expected and reasonable because there is a higher percentage of 25 to 29 year old inmates (17.2 percent) than 35 to 39 years old (15.8 percent), which means that the number of 25 to 29 year old inmates is expected to be bigger than the number of 35 to 39 year old inmates.
