In a recent survey of 974 voters, 724 indicated that they were in favor of a new city park, while the other 250 voters said that they were opposed.

Using this survey as a basis, if 40,000 citizens vote next week, how many are likely to be opposed to the new park? Round to the nearest whole number.

Respuesta :

10, 267

the fraction of voters opposed from the survey = [tex]\frac{250}{974}[/tex]

Assuming this fraction as a basis then the predicted number against will be

40, 000 × [tex]\frac{250}{974}[/tex] = 10, 267 ( nearest while number )
