We can use proportions to estimate the number of library patrons who borrow novels based on the sample of 80 patrons surveyed:
3/80 = x/345
Solving for x, we get:
x = (3/80) * 345
x ≈ 12.84
Rounding to the nearest whole number, we estimate that approximately 13 library patrons borrow novels when they visit the library.
A local library manager randomly surveys 80 patrons about the type of book they borrow when they visit the library. The manager finds that 3 patrons borrow novels. If the local library has 345 patrons, approximately how many of them borrow novels when they visit the library? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
