1 answer

To find the number of female athletes in the entire population, you can set up a proportion:

Female athletes in sample / Total students in sample = Female athletes in entire population / Total students in entire population.

170 / 250 = x / 3020.

Solving for x gives us:

x = (170 * 3020) / 250
x = 2054.

Therefore, in the entire population of 3020 students, there should be 2054 female athletes.
