Question

Part of the population of 6,750 elk at a wildlife preserve is infected with a parasite. A random sample of 50 elk shows that 11 of them are infected. How many elk are likely to be infected?

Based on the sample, there will likely be
infected elk in the wildlife preserve.

Answer 1

i’m sorry if this is wrong but 1485

Answer 2

1485 are likely to be infected.

Based on the sample, the probability of an elk being infected is 11/50. Multiply this by the number of elk:

11/50(6750) = 1485.
