Q. Emanuel surveyed a random sample of 50 subscribers to Auto Wheel magazine about the number of cars that they own. Of the subscribers surveyed, 15 own fewer than 2 vehicles. There are 340 subscribers to Auto Wheel magazine.Based on the data, what is the most reasonable estimate for the number of Auto Wheel magazine subscribers who own fewer than 2 vehicles?Choose 1 answer:(A) 15(B) 84(C) 93(D) 102
Calculate Proportion: Calculate the proportion of subscribers surveyed who own fewer than 2 vehicles: 15 out of 50.Proportion=5015=0.3
Estimate Total Number: Use the proportion to estimate the total number of subscribers who own fewer than 2 vehicles: 0.3 times the total number of subscribers (340).Estimated number = 0.3×340=102
