Answer 2

Answer:

54

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimate = Population size × Sample proportion

Population size = $120$

Sample proportion = $\frac{9}{9+6+5}$ = $\frac{9}{20}$

Estimate = $120$ × $\frac{9}{20}$ = $54$

54 is the most reasonable estimate for the number of Mothers' Club members who have fewer than 2 kids.
