Question

Of 10 students surveyed in a school , 7 picked Summer as their favorite season. If the school has 350 students. How many can be expected to perfer summer?

Answer 1

Answer:

The expected number of students to prefer summer=245

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Determine the number of students that prefer summer as their favorite season, and the sample size

number that prefer summer=7

sample size=10

Step 2

Determine the probability of a student picking summer as their favorite season as shown;

Probability=number that prefer summer/sample size

Probability=7/10=0.7

Step 3

Determine the total number of students out of the total population that can be expected to prefer summer as follows;

Expected number of students=probability×total number of students

where;

probability=0.7

total number of students=350

replacing;

Expected number of students=(0.7×350)=245

The expected number of students to prefer summer=245
