32 people prefer blueberry candies from a population of 104 people.
To calculate:
8 out of 26 people prefer blueberry candies.
So, in a population of 104 people, we can set up a proportion:
8/26 = x/104
26x = 832
x = 32
Therefore, approximately 32 people prefer blueberry candies from a population of 104 people.
