Based on this sample, how many high school students in the school are predicted to be most interested in pursuing a career in health?
Total of students sampled: 26 + 24 + 16 + 21 + 18 + 20 = 125 total 21 picked health so 21 / 125 = 0.168 of the students picked health multiply that by total students: 1000 * 0.168 = 168 total students will pick health
