Before designing the park, city developers randomly sampled the community about features to include in the park. The results are shown in the table.
Playground : 55
Walking Trail : 38
Gazebo : 7
Out of 1,000 community members, how many would you expect to want the park to include a playground?
To find the expected number of community members who want the park to include a playground, we use the proportion of community members who selected the playground option in the survey.
Proportion of community members who want a playground = 55/1000 = 0.055
Expected number of community members who want a playground = Proportion x Total number of community members
Expected number = 0.055 x 1000 = 55
Therefore, we would expect 55 out of 1,000 community members to want the park to include a playground.
