Answer 1

Answer:

students at the university who speak three or more languages is 2082

Explanation:

given data

students = 31230

random sample = 255

speak three or more languages = 17

solution

we consider here numbers of students at university who speak three or more language = x

so here we will use proportions

$\frac{x}{31230}$ = $\frac{17}{255}$   ........................1

solve it we get

x = 2082

so here students at the university who speak three or more languages is 2082
