Use this method to estimate the students who attend your school (or a certain building on your campus) on a given morning. Count the number of students entering the building in 1 minute and multiply this number by the minutes it takes the entire group to enter.

Answer and explanation:

The data we get from counting how many people entering a building in one minute is the sample of the population size. We do this since it would be tedious or not feasible to stand and count one by one how many people enter the building and so we do a good estimate with our one minute sample

Let's assume in one minute, 15 people enter the building and it takes one hour for everyone to enter the building

Population size would be 15*60 minutes= 900 people
