Question

At a recent baseball game of 5,000 in attendance, 150 people were asked what they prefer on a hot dog. The results are shown.

Ketchup Mustard Chili
63 27 60


Based on the data in this sample, how many of the people in attendance would prefer mustard on a hot dog?

Group of answer choices

900

2,000

2,100

4,000

Answer 1

900 would be the answer because;

27/150= 0.18
so 18% of the 150 people like mustard
then 0.18 x 5000= 900
meaning it’d be estimated around 900

Answer 2

I haven't done anything like this for many years, but i think the answer is 900

Explanation:

5000/ 150 = 33.33333333

33.3333333 X 27 = 900

Again, I haven't done this in forever, but I'm 99% sure it is 900. :)
