To determine the percentage of people in the 25-40 age range who chose "Somewhat Disagree" in response to the statement "I would buy this product," we need to follow these steps:
1. Calculate the total number of people in the 25-40 age range:
We sum the number of people in this age group who responded with any of the given options:
- Agree: 25
- Somewhat Agree: 8
- Somewhat Disagree: 3
- Disagree: 2
So, the total number of people in the 25-40 age range is:
[tex]\[
25 + 8 + 3 + 2 = 38
\][/tex]
2. Identify the number of people who chose "Somewhat Disagree":
From the table, we see that 3 people in the 25-40 age range chose "Somewhat Disagree."
3. Calculate the percentage of people who chose "Somewhat Disagree":
The percentage can be found by dividing the number of people who chose "Somewhat Disagree" by the total number of people in the 25-40 age range, and then multiplying by 100 to convert the fraction to a percentage:
[tex]\[
\left( \frac{3}{38} \right) \times 100 \approx 7.89\%
\][/tex]
4. Round the result to the nearest whole percent:
The percentage calculated is approximately 7.89%, which rounds to 8%.
Thus, the percentage of people in the 25-40 age range who chose "Somewhat Disagree" is [tex]\( \boxed{8\%} \)[/tex].
