Question

A surveyor asked 250 residents of a town with a population of 15,000 on whether they fish in any of the town's lakes. 95 people answered "yes" to the question. How many people would be expected to answer "yes" given the entire population was surveyed?

ANSWER WITH EXPLAINATION // PROOF PLSS​

Answer 1

5,700 people would be expected to say yes.

Explanation:

15,000 divided by 250 gives you 60. You use 60 and multiply it by 95 since out of every 250 people 95 people said yes.
