Final answer:
To find how many of the people in attendance would prefer mustard on a hot dog, we can multiply the proportion of people who prefer mustard by the total number of attendees at the baseball game. and we get 900
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the data in the sample, we can find the proportion of people who prefer mustard on a hot dog by dividing the number of people who prefer mustard by the total number of people surveyed.
In this case, the number of people who prefer mustard is 27, and the total number of people surveyed is 150. So the proportion is 27/150.
To find how many people in attendance would prefer mustard on a hot dog, we can multiply the proportion by the total number of attendees at the baseball game.
The total number of attendees is 5,000.
So, the number of people who would prefer mustard on a hot dog is (27/150) * 5,000 = 900.
