There are 528 students in Pablo's high school. Pablo surveys 130 randomly chosen students about their favorite ice cream flavor.
Strawberry. 29
Butter pecan. 31
Chocolate. 43
Orange Sherbet. 10
Vanilla. 17
Based on Pablo's sample data approximately how many students in the school prefer orange sherbet
A. 110
B. 41
C. 45
D. 195
To find the approximate number of students in the school who prefer orange sherbet, we can set up a proportion using the sample data.
10 students out of 130 surveyed preferred orange sherbet.
Let x be the total number of students in the school who prefer orange sherbet.
10/130 = x/528
Now we can solve for x:
10 * 528 = 130x
5280 = 130x
x = 5280 / 130
x ≈ 40.6
Therefore, approximately 41 students in the school prefer orange sherbet.
The answer is B. 41.
