There are a total of 516 annual members. What is the best estimate for the number of annual members that will visit the botanical garden more than 3 times in the next month?

A) 24 annual members
B) 96 annual members
C) 165 annual members
D) 234 annual members

Answer 1

Answer: C) 165 annual members

Explanation:

Those who will visit the garden more than 3 times in the next month will be those who visit 4, 5, and 6 or more times.

Out of the 75 surveyed, the total number of those are:

= 9 + 12 + 3

= 24

That would give a percentage of:

= 24 / 75

= 32%

This means that the best estimate for those who will visit more than 3 times is 32%.

Out of the total number of 516, that is:

= 32% * 516

= 165 members
