Group of answer choices

100

1,080

72

1,500

Answer 1

1,080

To find how many students in the school would be expected to prefer pizza over burgers, multiply the sample proportion by the total number of students in the school:

0.72 (proportion of students who prefer pizza over burgers) * 1,500 (total number of students in the school) = 1,080 students

Therefore, 1,080 students in the school would be expected to prefer pizza over burgers.
