A survey asks 48 randomly chosen students if they plan to buy a school newspaper this week. Of the 48 surveyed, 32 plan to buy a school newspaper. If 360 students bought papers, predict the number of students Enrolled at the school.
The most probable number, in this case, would be by ratio, 32:48 = 360:x cross multiply and solve for x x=360*48/32=540 Ans. Most probably there are 540 students enrolled.
