Rojas · Answer 1

P (C-section) = 15.9% or 0.159

Expected number of C-Section out of 25,250:

0.159 x 25,250 = 4,015 Women

Nicholas Rivas · Answer 2

15.9/100 pregnant women = x/25,250 pregnant women.

15.9 times 25,250 = 401475 divided by 100 = 4014.75

Answer = 4015 would be expected to deliver by C-section.
