Question

A teacher surveys a sample of students from Lake Middle School. He asks the students where they’d like to go for a field trip. He records these results:
80 choose the aquarium.
60 choose the science center.
30 choose the planetarium.
40 choose the farm.
The teacher wants to figure out the relative frequency of a student choosing the aquarium. He will then estimate how many students out of all 1000 at the school are likely to choose the aquarium.
4) Write and solve a proportion that the teacher can use to estimate how many students in the whole school would choose the aquarium. Show your work.

Answer 1

Answer:

210 student's

Step-by-step explanation:

80 students chose the aquarium.

60 students chose the science center.

30 students chose the planetarium.

40 students chose the farm.

The students can't vote for more than one place, so you just add all the numbers together.

80 + 60 + 30 + 40 = 210 students

Answer 2

80 choose the aquarium
