Since 68% of the sample ranges from the plus minus first standard deviation from the mean, then interval wherein it will occur will be between 53.5% to 60.5%. I got this answer through adding and subtracting one standard deviation (3.5) from the mean (which is 57).

According to the same report, the 28.5 million passengers in 2018 represented a 6.7% increase in cruise passengers since 2017. h

Alisiya [41]

The number of cruise passengers must there have been in 2017 is 26.7 million.

<h3>What is percentage?</h3>

The term "percentage" comes from the Latin phrase "per centum," meaning "by the hundred." Percentages represent fractions with a denominator of 100. In other terms, it is the relationship between portion and whole in which the value of the whole is always assumed to be 100.

Now according to the question;

Let x represent the total number for cruise passengers during 2017.

In 2018, a 6.7% rise in x results in 28.5 million cruise passengers.

So, 106.7 % of x = 28.5

$\begin{aligned}&\frac{106.7}{100} * x=28.5 \\&\frac{106.7 x}{100}=28.5\end{aligned}$
