Answer 6

To estimate the number of visitors who were female, we can use the ratio of females to the total sample of visitors, and then apply that ratio to the total number of visitors.

In the sample of 50 museum visitors, there were 22 females. This can be represented as a fraction: 22 / 50.

To estimate the number of female visitors in the total of 800 museum visitors, we can use the same ratio and cross-multiply it with the total number of visitors:

(22 / 50) * 800 = (22 * 800) / 50

Now we can simplify the expression:

(22 * 800) / 50 = 17600 / 50

Finally, we can calculate the answer:

17600 / 50 = 352

Therefore, the estimated number of visitors who were female is 352.

The correct answer is B.
