Answer 2

Answer: 2432 visitors

Step-by-step explanation:

An employee of a museum surveyed a random sample of 350 visitors that came to the museum. Of the visitors that were surveyed, 266 stopped at the gift shop.

Since 266 out of 350 stopped at the gist shop, we find the fraction or decimal of people who stopped at the gift shop. This will give 266/350 = 19/25 or 0.76.

If 3200 visitors come to the museum, the expected number of people to stop at the gift shop are:

= 0.76 × 3200

= 2432

2432 visitors are expected to stop at the gift shop out of 3200 visitors.
