Answer 1

Answer:

312 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Step 1:

First, we want to calculate what percentage of the random sample voted pretzels. To do that, we divide the number of pretzel voters depending on the total number of voters.

Calculate:

• Pretzel voters ÷ Total voters
• 27 ÷ (78 + 27 + 55 + 65)
• 27 ÷ 225
• 0.12
• 12%

So, approximately 12% of the sample voted on pretzels.

Step 2:

Now that we know the average percentage of people that want pretzels, we can find the same percentage of the actual population of 2600 people.

We need to solve for 12% of 2600

Calculate:

• 12% of 2600
• 0.12 * 2600
• 312

Based on our percentages, we predict that 312 people favor pretzels.
