Answer:

The most reasonable estimate for the number of Auto Wheel magazine subscribers who own fewer than 2 vehicles is 102.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

A random sample of 50 subscribers to Auto Wheel magazine about the number of cars that they own. Of the subscribers surveyed, 15 own fewer than 2 vehicles.

We need to find the most reasonable estimate for the number of Auto Wheel magazine subscribers who own fewer than 2 vehicles if there are 340 subscribers.

Here, the sample used is 50 and the population size is 340.

Now use the formula to find the reasonable estimate.


(Part)/(Sample)=(x)/(Population)

Substitute the respective values in the above formula as shown;


(15)/(50)=(x)/(340)


(15)/(50)* 340=x


x=3* 34


x=102

Hence, the most reasonable estimate for the number of Auto Wheel magazine subscribers who own fewer than 2 vehicles is 102.
