Answer:
The total number of U.S. high school students that played on a sports team that year can be estimated to be 7,950,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the random sample, we can expect that [tex]\frac{250000}{500000}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex] of all students played on a sports team that year. So in the bigger sample of 15900000 high school students, we can expect [tex]15900000 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 7950000[/tex] students to have played on a sports team that year.
