To predict how many visitors would like a comedy if they surveyed 1,275 students, we first need to calculate the percentage of visitors who like comedies based on the given data.
From the data provided:
Total number of visitors who like comedies = 12
Total number of visitors surveyed = 12 + 5 + 3 + 0 + 18 + 7 + 5 = 50
Percentage of visitors who like comedies = (Number of visitors who like comedies / Total number of visitors surveyed) * 100
= (12/50) * 100
= 24%
Now, to predict how many visitors would like a comedy if they surveyed 1,275 students:
Predicted number of visitors who like comedies = (24% of 1,275)
= 0.24 * 1,275
= 306
Therefore, it is predicted that approximately 306 visitors out of 1,275 students would like a comedy.
