To estimate the number of people in Springfield, population 10,000, who have a swimming pool in their backyard, 250 people were interviewed. Of those polled, 119 had a swimming pool. How many people in the city might one expect to have a swimming pool?

4760 people. 10,000 divided by 250 is 40.. 40 x 119 per 250 is 4760. I hope this helped!
