There are a total of
516
annual members. What is the best estimate for the number of annual members that will visit the botanical garden more than
3
times in the next month?


24


96


165


255

Answer 1

From the survey, 9 + 12 + 3 = 24 of the 75 members visited more than 3 times, so the proportion is 24/75 = 0.32.
Estimate for 516 members: 0.32 × 516 = 165.12 ≈ 165.

Answer: 165.
