Question

a seventh grade student chooses a random sample of 50 out of 400 students. He finds that 7 students have traveled outside the United States. The students claims that over 50 of the students have likely traveled outside the United States. Is the student correct? Explain.

Answer 1

No , the student is wrong because 50 out of 400 equals 8. And if it would be more than 50 out of 400 it would be more than 8 students that have traveled outside the United States .The correct answer would be less than 50 students have traveled outside the United States.
