Bot a principal collects data on a random sample of 100 students at a middle school. The data shows that 40% of students do not turn in permission slips on time for field trips. The principal is planning a school-wide field trip to a baseball game. There are 580 students at the school. Based on the principal's collected data, how many students would be predicted to turn in the permission slip on time for the school-wide field trip?
Based on the data collected by the principal, 40% of students do not turn in permission slips on time. Therefore, 60% of students do turn in permission slips on time (100% - 40% = 60%).
To find the number of students predicted to turn in the permission slip on time for the school-wide field trip, we multiply the percentage by the total number of students:
60% * 580 students = 0.60 * 580 = 348 students.
Therefore, the principal would predict that 348 students would turn in the permission slip on time for the school-wide field trip.
