400 students at Redwood middle school took a survey about the language they plan to study in high school the table shows the results of a random sample of 20 students who took the survey in the table. We have Chinese at three at six at two Italian one and Spanish eight so based on the sample, which is the best estimate of the number of students at the school who planned to study French, would it be 20 students 80s students 120 students or 160 students?
Based on the sample provided, we can calculate the percentage of students planning to study French in the sample and use that percentage to estimate the total number of students at the school who plan to study French.
In the sample:
- Chinese: 3 students
- Math: 6 students
- Italian: 2 students
- Spanish: 8 students
Total number of students in the sample: 3 + 6 + 2 + 8 = 19
Number of students planning to study French in the sample: 0
Percentage of students planning to study French in the sample: 0/19 * 100% = 0%
Estimated number of students at the school planning to study French: 0% of 400 students = 0 students
Therefore, the best estimate of the number of students at the school who planned to study French based on the sample is 0 students.
