Question

HELPPPPPO

In a school of 500 students, a random sample of 60
students are asked what
their favorite subject is. The
results are in the table. Based on this sample, how
many students in the school would we predict have
math as a favorite subject?

Answer 1

150

Explanation:

'x' = number of students out of 500 who selected math

18/60 = x/500

cross-multiply:

60x = 9000

x = 150
