The Beeville City Council surveyed 500 Beeville citizens. Of those surveyed, 350 citizens named summer as their favorite season. Based on the survey results, how many of the 36,500 Beeville citizens would most likely name summer as their favorite season?
To find out how many of the 36,500 Beeville citizens would most likely name summer as their favorite season, we can set up a proportion:
350/500 = x/36,500
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
500x = 350 * 36,500
Simplifying, we get:
500x = 12,677,500
Dividing both sides by 500, we get:
x = 25,355
Therefore, we can estimate that approximately 25,355 of the 36,500 Beeville citizens would name summer as their favorite season based on the survey results.
25,550 !
My apologies, you are correct. The estimated number of Beeville citizens who would most likely name summer as their favorite season based on the survey results is 25,550.
To determine how many of the 36,500 Beeville citizens would most likely name summer as their favorite season, we can use proportional reasoning.
First, we need to find the proportion of citizens who named summer as their favorite season in the survey. This can be calculated by dividing the number of citizens who named summer by the total number of citizens surveyed:
Proportion = Number of citizens who named summer / Total number of citizens surveyed
Proportion = 350 / 500
Proportion = 0.7 (or 70%)
Next, we can apply this proportion to the total population of Beeville citizens:
Number of citizens who would name summer as their favorite season = Proportion * Total number of Beeville citizens
Number of citizens who would name summer as their favorite season = 0.7 * 36,500
Number of citizens who would name summer as their favorite season = 25,550
Therefore, based on the survey results, it is estimated that approximately 25,550 Beeville citizens would name summer as their favorite season.
