Answer:
48
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] \frac{10}{25} [/tex]
athletes are female. Now, we need to find what
[tex] \frac{x}{120} [/tex]
athletes are female.
10 ÷ 25 = 0.4
0.4 × 100 = 40 so
[tex] \frac{10}{25} = 40\%[/tex]
40% is the experimental probability for the number of female athletes in the sample. 40% of 120 should be about the number of female athletes in the whole school.
120 × 0.4 (or 40%) = 48.
You can infer that 48 athletes in the school are female.
