Question

Based on the data, about how many

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B: 600 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this question, we will first find the probability or ratio of people out of 200 who will love to have pig as a pet

We know that

Sample size = n(S) = 200

Let A be the event that people will pick pig as pet

Number of people who pick pig = n(A) = 12

Thus the probability is:

$P(A) = \frac{n(A)}{n(s)}\\= \frac{12}{200}\\= 0.06$

0.06 is the probability for the sample of 200. To find it for the whole population we will simply multiply the probability with population size.

So,

$=0.06*10000 = 600$

Hence,

Option B: 600 is the correct answer.
