From the question, Banneker Middle School has 750 students and we are told that Lynn surveys a random sample of 50 students and finds that 27 have pet dogs. The number of students at the school that are likely to have pet dogs goes thus:
Since out of 50 students surveyed, 27 have pet dogs, this means we multiply the fraction by 750. This can be mathematically written as:
= 27/50 × 750
= 27 × 15
= 405
This means 405 students are expecting to have pet dogs.
