1 A school cafeteria staff gives a choice of broccoli or carrots with lunch and they record how many students choose each Predict the number of students out of class=

Respuesta :

Number of students who chose broccoli = 12

Total number of students who made a choice (broccoli or carrots) = 38 (12 + 26)

To predict the number of students choosing broccoli

Proportion of students who chose broccoli previously = 12 / 38

Predicted number of students choosing broccoli out of 40 = (12 / 38) * 40 ≈ 12.63

approximately 12.63 out of the next 40 students will choose broccoli.
