A random survey found that 8 of the 32 people surveyed prefer jogging. Based on those results, about how many people prefer jogging from a population of 96 people?
About 24 people prefer jogging from a population of 96 people.
To calculate this, you can set up a proportion:
8 people out of 32 prefer jogging
x people out of 96 prefer jogging
8/32 = x/96
Solving for x:
8 * 96 = 32 * x
x = 768/32
x = 24
Therefore, about 24 people prefer jogging from a population of 96 people.
