Answer 1

Answer: 467 students

Explanation:

Rest of the question is:

Based on the data, what is the most reasonable estimate for the number of students at Franklin High School whose favorite season is fall?

Out of 70 students surveyed, 18 said Fall was their favorite season.

In percentage terms this is:

= 18 / 70 * 100%

= 25.71%

If there are 1,816 students in the school, with the above percentage, a reasonable estimate of people who prefer fall in the school is:

= 25.71% * 1,816

= 466.8

= 467 students
