Question

Based on the data, how many of 650 ice cream eaters would be expected to prefer vanilla or cookie dough ice cream flavor Number of people vanilla 71 strawberry 22 cookie dough 27 chocolate 83

Answer 1

Answer: 305 people

Explanation:

The total number of people sampled is:

= 71 + 22 + 27 + 83

= 209

Out of this 209, the number of people who prefer Vanilla and cookie dough ice cream is:

= 71 + 27

= 98 people

In a sample of 209 people, 98 people would prefer either vanilla or cookie dough. In 650 people, that number would therefore be:

= 98/ 209 * 650

= 305 people
