Question

Gerald buys a bag of 7,500 assorted beads online. A random sample of 150 beads contains 17 red beads. Predict the number of red beads in the bag of assorted beads that Gerald bought.

850. If there is 17 red beads for every 150 beads Then you would divide 7500 by 150 and you get 50. Then multiply 50 with 17 and your answer is 850 red beads. 7500/150=50. 50 x 17= 850.
