By calculating the proportion of female athletes in the sample (179/250), we can estimate the number of female athletes in the entire population by applying the same proportion to the total student population of 3020.
(179/250) = (x/3020)
Cross multiplying:
179 * 3020 = 250x
540980 = 250x
x = 540980 / 250
x = 2163.92
Therefore, it is estimated that in the entire population of 3020 students, approximately 2164 of them should be female athletes. Since the population cannot have a fractional number of students, the closest whole number is 2164.
