Question

Craig randomly surveys 50 people to find out their favorite store at the mall if I’m to 18 people say that they like the clothing store best if you contact the second survey with 125 people which will be the best prediction for the number of people who will say that they like the clothing store best

Answer 1

The best prediction is that 45 people will like the clothing store the best.

Explanation:

The total amount of people starts at 50. It then increases to 125. To get to 125, 50 must have been multiplied by 2.5. Therefore, we will also multiply the number of people who favor the clothing store, 18, by 2.5. 18 x 2.5 = 45.
