b)25,550.
To find out, we can set up a proportion. Let x be the number of Beeville citizens who would name summer as their favorite season out of 36,500 total citizens:
350/500 = x/36,500
Cross-multiplying, we get:
500x = 12,275,000
Dividing both sides by 500, we get:
x = 25,550
The Beeville City Council surveyed 500 Beeville citizens. Of those surveyed, 350 citizens named summer as their favorite season. Based on the survey results, how many of the 36,500 Beeville citizens would most likely name summer as their favorite season?
a)27,000
