Question

At the last basketball game ,12 out of the first 48 people who entered the stands were wearing a coat. if this sample is representative of the 200 people attending the game , about how many are wearing a coat?

Answer 1

Answer: attending the game

Explanation:

Given: 12 out of the first 48 people who entered the stands were wearing a coat.

That means, Proportion of people wearing coat =
`(12)/(48)=(1)/(4)` (People wearing coat divided by Total people)

Total people in the sample attending the game= 200

Number of people wearing a coat =
`200*\frac14`

`=50`

Hence, 50 people are wearing a coat.
