This is one of those questions where there's a list of choices that goes along with it,
but you're not sharing the list.
The product of (2x + 5) and (x - 3) is (2x² - x - 15) . That may be useful.
Answer: Yes, he makes a reasonable inference.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Number of students = 60
Number of chosen science students = 12
Percentage of students who chose science is given by
12/60 x 100
= 1/5 x 100
= 20%
Since Mr. Rodriguez used the data to draw the inference that about 20% of middle school students prefer to read science fiction.
So yes, he makes a reasonable inference.
