Q. A soccer league is organizing teams for their summer league. A survey is randomly given to people in the area asking whether their children will participate in the league. Out of 100 people with children, 7 said their children will participate. How many children can the league expect from 6,000 people with children?_____ children
Determine Proportion: Determine the proportion of children who will participate based on the survey.The survey shows that 7 out of 100 children will participate.Proportion of children participating = 1007
Estimate Participation: Use the proportion to estimate the number of children who will participate out of 6,000. If 7 out of 100 children will participate, then to find out how many out of 6,000 will participate, we multiply the total number of people with children by the proportion of children who will participate. Expected number of children participating = 6,000×(7/100)
Calculate Expected Number: Calculate the expected number of children participating.Expected number of children participating = 6,000×(1007)=6,000×0.07=420
