Population Proportion

Question 1 • AZ-Common Core Algebra II B

The yearbook committee polled 80 randomly selected students from a class of 320 ninth graders to see if they would be willing to pay more for a yearbook if their names were printed on the front. Of the students who were surveyed, 26 of them said they would be willing to pay extra.

Answer
A
4%
B
6%
C
8%
D
9%

Explanation

The survey found that 26 out of 80 students would pay extra, so the estimated proportion is 26 ÷ 80 = 0.325. Applying this proportion to all 320 ninth graders gives 0.325 × 320 = 104 students. That estimate is 104 ÷ 320 = 0.325, or 32.5% of the class; however, none of the choices matches. The choices appear to ask for something else or contain an error.
