Question

Gabby assigned a number to each of the 120 athletes at her school and

put the numbers in a box. She randomly chose 25 numbers and found that
10 athletes were female. Use this sample to make an inference about how
many athletes at Gabby's school are female.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:48

Answer 2

48

Explanation:

`(10)/(25)`

athletes are female. Now, we need to find what

`(x)/(120)`

athletes are female.

10 ÷ 25 = 0.4

0.4 × 100 = 40 so

`(10)/(25) = 40\%`

40% is the experimental probability for the number of female athletes in the sample. 40% of 120 should be about the number of female athletes in the whole school.

120 × 0.4 (or 40%) = 48.

You can infer that 48 athletes in the school are female.
