Question

a museum employee surveys a random sample of 350 visitors to the museum. Of those visitors, 266 stopped at the gift shop. Based on these results , about how many people out of the 2300 visitors would be expected to stop at the gift shop?

Answer 1

1748 people are expected to stop at the gift shop out of 2300.

Explanation:

Given,

Number of random sampled people = 350

Number of people who stopped at shop = 266

Percentage =
`(People\ stopped)/(Total\ people)*100`

Percentage =
`(266)/(350)*100=76\%`

Therefore,

76% people would stop at the gift stop.

Number of people = 2300

Expected number = 76% of total

Expected number =
`(76)/(100)*2300`

Expected number = 1748

1748 people are expected to stop at the gift shop out of 2300.
