Answer: 201 employees

Explanation:

Question wants to know the predicted number of employees from the total number that would buy a reduced gym membership.

Going by the number of employees from the sample of 70 that said they would prefer a reduced membership, one can estimate a predicted value for the number of employees from the total population of 281 that would want the same.

Find the percentage that would want a reduced membership from the sample:

= 50 / 70 * 100%

= 71.43%

Apply this to the total population:

= 71.43% * 281

= 200.7

= 201 employees
