Question 1071935: Ten years ago, 55% of parents took their children to the zoo. A recent study illustrated that of 250 parents, 115 of them took their children to the zoo.
Assuming parents feel the same way about taking their children to the zoo today as they did 10 years ago, how many of the parents took their children to the zoo?
Does this information illustrate parent's attitude about taking their children to the zoo has changed in the last 10 years?
