Question

I need help with this problem

Answer 1

Answer:

c. 106 million

Step-by-step explanation:

A = number of people in the sample that use public transportation 5 or more days per week

A = 2,067,153

B = number of people total in the sample

B = 4,295,280

C = proportion of those in the sample that use public transportation 5 or more days per week

C = A/B

C = (2,067,153)/(4,295,280)

C = 0.48126 approximately

Multiply this value by the figure 220 million to compute the estimated number of people who use public transportation 5 or more days per week

C*(220 million) = 0.48126*(220 million) = (0.48126*220) million = 105.8772 million = 106 million
