Suppose that you were trying to determine if the percentage of Americans that speak a second language is less than 30% . In 2016, the General Social Survey had a question that asked its participants if they spoke a second language. Out of 2867, 816 said yes.

Total people in survey = 2867

Number of people that can speak two languages = 816

Here, we have to check whether Americans that speak a second language is less than 30%.

So, % of people that speak 2nd language = 816/2867 × 100

= 28.46 %

So, Americans that speak a second language is less than 30%.
