Answer 1

Explanation:

Color number

Blue 7

Red 4

Purple 5

Yellow 4

TOTAL=20 responses

if 40 more students are surveyed assuming the ratios remain the same

we can calculate the number of students that will choose a color by multiplying the results from the previous survey which had 20 participants by 2 to find the correct answer

20*2=40

so

Color number new results

Blue 7*2 = 14

Red 4*2 =8

Purple 5*2 = 10

Yellow 4*2 =8

so the correct answer will be

D. There will be 8 students who choose yellow
