Question

Mimi surveyed some students at her school about their favorite professional sports. Of the students surveyed, 4 said soccer was their favorite sport, while 4 of the students had other favorite sports. If Mimi surveys 18 more students, how many of them should she expect to pick soccer, based on past data?

Answer 1

so we can assume the first sample was total of 8 people

if half of them picked soccer, our best guess would be that once again, half of them would pick soccer

half of 18 is 9

so we can expect 9 people to pick soccer out of the new 18
