Question

Omar is in charge of planning a reception for 1800 people. He is trying to decide which snacks to buy. He has asked a random sample of people who are coming to the reception what their favorite snack is. Here are the results
Favorite Snack Number of People
Potato chips 28
Pretzels 36
Cookies 48
Other 63



Based on the above sample, predict the number of the people at the reception whose favorite snack will be potato chips. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Do not round any intermediate calculations

Answer 1

Answer:

ok so first we have to find out what the sample size is so

28+36+48+63=175

then lets find what percentage 28 is of 172

16.28

so ten lets find out how many that is out of the 1800

1800*0.1628=293.04

293 people will like potato chips

Hope This Helps!!!
