Question

if 300 people come to the gym on a given day, approximately how many people would you expect to exercise for more than 136 minutes?​

Answer 1

Answer: 120

===========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Add up the numbers in the second column:

4+19+25+32 = 80

There are 80 people being surveyed in the table.

Of those 80 people surveyed, 32 of them exercised for more than 136 minutes.

The probability of selecting someone who exercised for more than 136 minutes is the fraction 32/80 = (16*2)/(16*5) = 2/5

----------

Multiply this probability with the larger sample size of 300 to get

(2/5)*300 = 0.4*300 = 120

We estimate that 120 people would exercise for more than 136 minutes.

Note that 120/300 = 2/5.
