Question

A club has 800 members. 100 of the members were randomly picked and were asked if the dues should be raised. 6 of the members said that dues should be raised. Based on these results, about how many members in the club would be expected to say that dues should be raised?

Answer 1

Answer:

About 48 members would be expected to say that dues be raised

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we shall be using a case of a representative sampling to determine the actual.

Out of the 100 selected members, 6 said the dues should be raised;

This represents a percentage of 6/100 = 6%

So out of the 800, the expected number of members that would ask for a dues raising will be;

6/100 * 800 = 48
