I am sorry but it is just an example !


Question ) A university has 30,330 students. In a random sample of 270 students, 18 speak three or more languages. Predict the number of students at the university who speak three or more languages.

Answer ) 2,022 students will speak three or more languages

Here's why:
Using proportions.
18. x
--- =. ----
270. 30,330

Cross multiply
18 x 30,330 = 545,940
270 multiply x = 270x
545,940 divided by 270 = 2,022
x = 2,022 students
