Use the excerpt from the poem in the lesson to answer the question.

“Night climbed the horizon like a cat on the prowl;

Its breath was the wind that began to howl,

The piercing stars were its ravenous eyes,

Eclipsing the light to reveal its guise.”

The answer is C. 94.

We can use the formula:

expected number of students who prefer blue = sample proportion x total number of students

Plugging in the values, we get:

0.75 x 125 = 93.75

Rounding to the nearest whole number, we get 94.
