A city has 14200 people in a random sample of 80 people from the city 43 people say that have visited the city’s community garden which expression can you use to estimate the number of people in the city who have visited the city’s community garden

Answer 1

we can estimate that about 7632 people in the city have visited the city's community garden.

Explanation:

You can use a proportion to estimate the number of people in the city who have visited the city's community garden. The proportion is:

(Number of people in the city who have visited the community garden) / (Total number of people in the city) = (Number of people in the sample who have visited the community garden) / (Total number of people in the sample)

We can plug in the values given in the problem to get:

(x) / (14200) = (43) / (80)

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and simplify:

80x = 14200 * 43

x = (14200 * 43) / 80

x ≈ 7632

Therefore, we can estimate that about 7632 people in the city have visited the city's community garden.
