Out of a population of 1,500 students, 100 were asked by a random sampling to choose their favorite national park. their responses are shown in the table below.

using proportional reasoning, about how many students out of the 1,500 would you expect to pick yosemite for their favorite national park?

students

answer:

210

step-by-step explanation:

Using proportional reasoning, about 210 (14% x 1,500) students out of the 1,500 would pick yosemite for their favorite national park. this problem can be solved by using the proportional reasoning and the random sampling. 14% of the 100 random samples pick the yosemite as their favorite national park. you can use this percentage of proportion for determining our expectation from the total students.
