Answer:

The answer is option B - 105,600 people

Explanation:

As given :

There are 160,000 people in the population.

Means n = 160000

66% of a large sample of a population favor increasing the speed limit.

Means p= 0.66

So, the number of people who are in favor are = n * p


0.66*160000=105600

The answer is option B - 105,600 people
