Explanation:

Laticia doing her survey on a sample that has a size of about 25% of the population. That means the sample is approximately four times larger than the sample she takes. Unless its ratio or percentage, any data she takes will be 1/4 of the population. If 51 student of her sample choose summer as their favorite, predicted number on the population will be:
