Omar is in charge of planning a reception for 1800 people. He is trying to decide which snacks to buy. He has asked a random sample of people who are coming to the reception what their favorite snack is. Here are the results
Favorite Snack Number of People
Potato chips 28
Pretzels 36
Cookies 48
Other 63
Based on the above sample, predict the number of the people at the reception whose favorite snack will be potato chips. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Do not round any intermediate calculations
ok so first we have to find out what the sample size is so
28+36+48+63=175
then lets find what percentage 28 is of 172
16.28
so ten lets find out how many that is out of the 1800
1800*0.1628=293.04
293 people will like potato chips
Hope This Helps!!!
