Question 598613: In 2010, 24% of the populationof California was determined to be obese and 49% of the same population was male. What was the percentage of people that were male and obese in California in 2010? Answer by richard1234(7193) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Can't determine. You don't know how the obese people are distributed among genders. Therefore you can't claim that .24(.49) = .1176 = 11.76% is correct unless you know that the obesity is distributed evenly among genders.
