Answer:

129

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the survey to be representative, you can simply multiply the share of students p preferring “Track & Field” with the whole school population at the same time to estimate the number of such students in the whole school.

First we need to find the relative share p of such answers in the study by dividing it by the sum of answers, assuming that the table is complete for that random sample:

p = 4/(8 + 5 + 4) = 4/17

Then for the whole school we get 550 p ≈ 129.4

Answer:

110

Step-by-step explanation:

4/20 = x/550

550x4 divided by 20 = 110
