Question

Kimberly had more time to conduct surveys and decided to survey a random sample of 30 students from the school. In Kimberly’s sample, 24 students said they would vote for Tammy. What is Kimberly’s best estimate of the number of students in the school who would vote for Tammy?

Answer 1

80% of the students would vote for Tammy.

Explanation:

To find Kimberly's best estimate, we need to use the sample the surveyed.

From the sample of 30 students, 24 said that they would vote for Tammy, so to generalize this sample, we need to find the percentage of students in the sample that would vote for Tammy:

Percentage = 24 / 30 = 0.8 = 80%

So the best estimate Kimberly can make is that 80% of the students would vote for Tammy.
