A university class has had 18 adult education students enroll so far, as well as 18 other students. Considering this data, how many of the next 14 students to enroll should you expect to be adult education students?
adult education students
Given that 18 out of the current 36 students are adult education students, we can calculate the proportion of adult education students in the class so far:
18 adult education students / 36 total students = 0.5 or 50%
Therefore, we can expect approximately 50% of the next 14 students to enroll to also be adult education students.
50% of 14 = 0.5 * 14 = 7
So, we should expect approximately 7 of the next 14 students to enroll to be adult education students.
