Answer:

Approx 467 students is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Francis surveyed a random sample of 70 students at Franklin High School about their favorite season.

Of the students surveyed, 18 chose fall as their favorite season.

There are 1816 students at Franklin High School.

Now, $\frac{18}{70}$ students chose fall as their favorite season.

This comes to 0.257 percent.

We can say that 0.257 % of 1816 students can like fall season.

$0.257\times1816$ = 466.712 ≈ 467 students. (approx)

Therefore, the most reasonable estimate for the number of students at Franklin High School whose favorite season is fall is 467.
