Question 1122145: Heather conducted a poll of 45 people concerning their cookie preferences. 36 people favored chocolate chip and the rest preferred sugar cookies. Based on these results, about how many people out of 1000 can be expected to prefer sugar cookies?
I’m confused on what exactly to do to get the answer.
Thank you, Answer by ikleyn(52855) (Show Source):
36 of 45, i.e. = of the pool favor chocolate chips.
Hence, taking it as the base, we can expect that of 1000, i.e. 800 favor chocolate chips.
The rest 200 of 1000 prefer sugar cookies.
