Answer:
c
1,400
Step-by-step explanation:
We take the sample proportion of skunks and estimate for the entire population.
Sample:
140 skunks out of 230 + 140 + 120 = 490 animals.
140/490 = 0.28571428571
If a random sample of 5,000 animals are trapped in the city, how many skunks would be estimated to be included?
0.28571428571 out of 5000. So
0.28571428571*5000 = 1429
Close to 1400, which means that the answer is given by option C.
