Question 159170: I'm embarassed to admit that I was stumped by this question. I had "20" as my answer and was told it was incorrect. Can you explain why? Thank you.
A hotel has 50 people checking in. Of the 50, there are 16 traders; 10 MBA graduates; 10 American; and 14 women. Approximately how many of the next 50 people checking into the hotel will have MBAs?

Assuming the ration of people entering the hotel stays the same as the first sample then:
10 out of the next 50 will have MBAs the same as the first 50.
