To find a good prediction of how many students will vote for the cougar as their new mascot, we can calculate the percentage of survey respondents that chose the cougar, and then apply that percentage to the total number of students at the school.
According to the graph, 40 students were surveyed and 20% of them chose the cougar as their desired mascot.
To calculate the prediction, we multiply the percentage by the total number of students:
20% of 2000 students = (20/100) * 2000 = 400.
Therefore, a good prediction is that 400 students will vote for the cougar as their new mascot.
