Question 1080159
not exactly sure if this is correct, but .....


300 bills were marked.


out of a sample of 1000, 34 were marked.


the ratio of marked bills to sample bills is 34/1000 = .034


if that same ratio applies to the population, and you let x represent the population, then you get:


.034 * x = 300


this says that 300 bills represents .034 of the population.


solve for x to get x = 300 / .034 = 8823.529412.
