When Jeremy surveyed thirty 7th-grade students at the community pool, he found that 2/15 had not read at least one book during July. He knows there are about 200 7th-grade students in his community, so he infers that about 40 of them did not read any books in July. Is that a good inference? Explain.

200 * 2/15 = the number of students that didn't read any books. This is 26.6, so 40 is not a good estimate 40 students is 20 percent versus 26 being approximately 13 percent.

Answer:

Jeremy did not make a good inference. The ratio is not in proportion to 2/15. The correct inference would be about 26 students who did not read any books in July. The sample might be biased since it was limited to those at the pool.
