Jericho is doing a quick survey for his high school newspaper. He hands out a simple index card to 100 seniors in his high school and asks them to simply drop it in a box left near the gymnasium. The card has no place for a name or identifying information. It simply says "In the past year, have you been drunk even one time?" The student simply has to check "yes" or "no." If Jericho's classmates are like most U.S. seniors, about ____ of them will check "yes."
