A middle school has 450 students. In a random sample of 100 students, 8 students indicated that they have traveled outside the United States. Predict the number of students at the middle school who have traveled outside the United States. (1 point)

Question

___________ students

Answer 1

To predict the number of students at the middle school who have traveled outside the United States, you can use the proportion of students in the sample who have traveled outside the country.

In your sample of 100 students, 8 students indicated they have traveled outside the United States. The proportion of students in the sample is:

\[ \frac{8}{100} = 0.08 \]

Now, to find the predicted number of students in the entire school (450 students) who have traveled outside the United States:

\[ 0.08 \times 450 = 36 \]

Therefore, the predicted number of students at the middle school who have traveled outside the United States is:

36 students.
