Question

1. The head of the student council at a school with 500 total students conducts a survey among 25

randomly selected students. In the survey, she asks each student's first choice for an after-school activity
Basketball is the first choice for 5 of the students. Based on these survey results, how many students at
the school would be expected to select basketball as an after-school activity?
A. 2500 students
B. 100 students
C. 50 students
D. 125 students​

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

If you do a proportion it would be the number of students who put basketball in the survey over the total number of students surveyed. The on the other side it would be x over 500 since 500 is the total number of students.

5/ 25 = x/500
