Question

Part of the population of 5,750 elk at a wildlife preserve is infected with a parasite. A random sample of 50 elk shows that 2 of them are infected. How many elk are likely to be infected?

Answer 1

Answer:

230

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2}{50}$=$\frac{x}{5750}$

cross multiply->11500=50x

divide both sides by 50 to isolate the variable

230=x
