Question

There are 279 grade 7 students and 225 grade 8 students in Noor's school.Noor asks a random sample of 25 students from each grade which night they plan to attend the school play. Can she expect more grade 7 or grade 8 students at the play on Friday? About how many more? Show you work.

Answer 1

Answer:She would be expecting more 7th graders. ~ 78 7th graders ~72 8th graders

Explanation

7th Grade: 279÷25=11.16 11.16*7 (number on Friday for 7th grade)=78.12

8th grade=225÷25=9 9*8 (number on Friday for 8th grade) =72

Round each of them: 78.12=78 72=72

78 is higher than 72, therefore there will be more 7th graders
