A local video game store randomly surveyed 60 customers that visited last month about the type of video game they bought. The manager finds 4 customers bought racing games. If there are 320 customers that visited last month, approximately how many of them bought racing games
Based on the sample of 60 customers surveyed, 4 bought racing games.
To estimate the total number of customers that bought racing games, we can set up a proportion:
4 customers out of 60 surveyed bought racing games
x customers out of 320 total customers bought racing games
Cross multiplying, we get:
4 * 320 = 60x
1280 = 60x
Dividing by 60:
x ≈ 21.33
Approximately 21.33 customers out of the 320 total customers bought racing games. Since we can't have a fraction of a customer, we can estimate that about 21 customers bought racing games.
