Question

In a random sample of 120 students at Caleb’s school, it was found that 72 ride the bus to school. If there are 525 students in the school, how many can you estimate ride the bus?

Answer 1

315

Explanation:

If 72 out of 120 students ride the bus to school, that means that 60% of all students ride the bus, because 72/120=0.6

Now all we need to do is multiply 525 by 0.6 and we get 315.

Hope this helps!
