The question is incomplete and a question match couldn't be found online. However, an hypothetical solution will be provided

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

We can make prediction about a population based on the outcome of a sample statistic.

From a random sample of voters, n ; the number who voted Smith = x

(p = x / n) gives the proportion of votes Smith will get according to the sample :

For instance :

n = 100 ; x = 10

p = 10 / 100 = 0.1

The predicted Number of votes Smith will Get if there are 10000 voters :

p * 10000

0.1 * 10000

= 1000 votes
