Yuri surveyed a random sample of 75 students in his school about their favorite color. Of the students surveyed, 49 chose lavender as their favorite color. If there are 908 students at the school, what is a valid estimate of the number of students whose favorite color is lavender?

600 students

300 students

450 students

800 students

which one?

Answer:

600

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the number that answered lavender and divide by total # of students surveyed

49/75 = .653333 or 65.3%

then take the total # of students and multiply by .6533333

908x .6533333 = 593.22

so the closest estimate is 600
