Question

A company has 200 employees. The company’s owner randomly chose 30 employees for an in-depth survey. Of those surveyed, 12 employees said they work overtime on a regular basis.

What is the best estimate of the percent of the company’s employees who work overtime on a regular basis?

Answer 1

(this shows the percent of people that would work over time on a regular basis out of the 30 people) 12/30= (40%) of the 30 said they would work overtime.

200×.4=80 employees of the 200 would have probably have said they would work overtime.
