Final answer:
Using the statistical example, approximately 8% of students in a high school participate in sports throughout high school. For 60 randomly chosen seniors, this would mean an expected 5 seniors (0.08 x 60) participated in sports for all four years.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question about the number of children under the age of 18 involved in school and other sport programs doesn't provide exact figures to directly answer the choices given (a) 100,000 (b) 1 million (c) 10 million (d) 50 million. However, by using the provided statistical example related to a high school scenario, we can deduce some insights. In this example, 8 percent of students at a local high school participate in after-school sports all four years of high school. When selecting a group of 60 seniors randomly, the expectation is that 8% of these seniors would have participated in after-school sports all four years.
To find this number, you would calculate 0.08 (8 percent) times the number of seniors, which is 60. So, 0.08 x 60 = 4.8, which implies that approximately 5 seniors are expected to have participated in after-school sports throughout their high school years. While this doesn't directly answer the multiple-choice question about the total number of children in sports programs, it gives an example of how participation rates can be used to estimate numbers in a given population.
