Question

• 12 students want a beef meal. • 8 students want a chicken meal. • 5 students want a pasta meal. Based on the survey results, which of these is the best prediction of the meals wanted by the 200 students?

Answer 1

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

You didn't give the options but let me help out.

Number of students that want a beef meal = 12

Number of students that want a chicken meal = 8

Number of students that want a pasta meal = 5

Total number of students = 12 + 8 + 5 = 25

The prediction of the meals wanted by the 200 students will be:

Beef meal = 12/25 × 200 = 96

Chicken meal = 8/25 × 200 = 64

Pasta meal = 5/25 × 200 = 40
