A survey reported that out of 50 teenagers, 9 said they get their news from a newspaper. At this rate, how many out of 300 teenagers would you expect to get their news from a
9/50 = 0.18
0.18 * 300 = ______
To find out how many out of 300 teenagers would be expected to get their news from a newspaper, we need to determine the ratio of teenagers who get their news from a newspaper out of the original sample size.
First, we calculate the proportion of teenagers who get their news from a newspaper in the original sample:
Proportion = (Number of Teenagers who get news from a newspaper) / (Total number of Teenagers in the sample)
Proportion = 9 / 50
Next, we can use this proportion to estimate the number of teenagers who get their news from a newspaper out of the population size of 300:
Expected number = Proportion * Population size
Expected number = (9 / 50) * 300
Expected number ≈ 54
Therefore, we would expect approximately 54 out of 300 teenagers to get their news from a newspaper.
