Given:

Number that voted for Tammy from the sample = 24

Sample size = 30 students

Total number of students = 230

To find the best estimate of the number of students that would vote for Tammy out of the total number, we have:


\begin{gathered} (24)/(30)*230 \\ \\ =0.8*230=184 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the best estimate of the number of students that would vote for Tammy is 184 students.

ANSWER:

184
