Which proportion would predict the number of jazz songs he has stored on his MP3 player? Listening Samples from Mr. McElroy’s MP3 Player Sample 1 Sample 2 Country 5 Country 3 Pop 4 Pop 3 Classical 3 Classical 5 Jazz 2 Jazz 4 Rock 6 Rock 5 StartFraction 6 over 20 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 2000 EndFraction StartFraction 3 over 20 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 2000 EndFraction StartFraction 2 over 4 Endfraction = StartFraction x over 2000 EndFraction StartFraction 3 over 40 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 2000 EndFraction
