Can you explain this question?
My answers are as follows:
From the chart, we have the following numbers:
Small cap - Growth: 8
Small cap - Core: 9
Small cap - Value: 12
Mid cap - Growth: 6
Mid cap - Value: 13
Large cap - Growth: 11
Large cap - Value: 17
Large cap - Core: 12
To find x, the percentage of Growth stocks in the investor's portfolio, we need to determine the total number of stocks and the number of Growth stocks:
Total number of Growth stocks = Small cap - Growth + Mid cap - Growth + Large cap - Growth
= 8 + 6 + 11 = 25
Total number of stocks = Sum of all stocks in each category (Small cap, Mid cap, Large cap)
= (8 + 9 + 12) + (6 + 13) + (11 + 17 + 12)
= 29 + 19 + 40
= 88
Percentage of Growth stocks = (Number of Growth stocks / Total number of stocks) * 100
= (25 / 88) * 100
≈ 28.41%
Therefore, x ≈ 28.41. The Growth stocks in the investor's portfolio represent approximately 28.41% of the total portfolio.
To find y, the ratio of Large Cap stocks to Small Cap stocks:
Number of Large Cap stocks = Large cap - Growth + Large cap - Value + Large cap - Core
= 11 + 17 + 12
= 40
Number of Small Cap stocks = Small cap - Growth + Small cap - Core + Small cap - Value
= 8 + 9 + 12
= 29
Ratio of Large Cap stocks to Small Cap stocks = Number of Large Cap stocks / Number of Small Cap stocks
= 40 / 29
≈ 1.38 (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, y ≈ 1.38. The investor has approximately 1.38 times as many Large Cap stocks in her portfolio as Small Cap stocks.

= 29 + 19 + 40
= 88
Percentage of Growth stocks = (Number of Growth stocks / Total number of stocks) * 100
= (25 / 88) * 100
≈ 28.41%
Therefore, x ≈ 28.41. The Growth stocks in the investor's portfolio represent approximately 28.41% of the total portfolio.

Number of Small Cap stocks = Small cap - Growth + Small cap - Core + Small cap - Value
= 8 + 9 + 12
= 29
Ratio of Large Cap stocks to Small Cap stocks = Number of Large Cap stocks / Number of Small Cap stocks
= 40 / 29
≈ 1.38 (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, y ≈ 1.38. The investor has approximately 1.38 times as many Large Cap stocks in her portfolio as Small Cap stocks.
