study was conducted of pleas made by 1,035 criminals. Among those criminals, 950 pled guity, and 396 of them were sentenced to prison. Among the 76 other criminals, who pled not guity, 52 were sent rison. Complete (a) through (d). a. What percentage of the criminals pled guity? \( 027 \% \) (Round to the nearest tenth as needed.) b. What percentage of the criminals were sent to prison? W. (Round to the nearest tenth as needed)

Let’s break this down in a fun and engaging way! To find the percentage of criminals pledging guilty, we take the number of guilty pleas (950) and divide it by the total number of criminals (1,035). Then we multiply by 100 to get our percentage. That’s about \( 91.8\% \) when rounded to the nearest tenth! Now, for the second part, we need to calculate the total number of criminals sent to prison. This includes those who pled guilty (396) plus those who pled not guilty (52). That adds up to 448 out of 1,035 criminals, which gives us about \( 43.3\% \) of criminals sentenced to prison when rounded to the nearest tenth! Now, wasn’t that a fun little math adventure? Keep those calculators handy for more puzzles!
