A counselor surveys a random sample of 60 out of 900 high school students. 75% of them said they were going to college. She used these results to determine that 675 students in the overall school would be planning to go to college. Do you agree with her prediction?

    yes

    Step-by-step explanation:

    This problem has some information which does not pertain to the answer. The sample size of 60 is not important to the answer. (Sample size is a concern when it comes to deciding if the survey results are valid!)

    75% of the sample says they're going to college, so assuming that the same proportion of students in the entire school is going to college, you need to find 75% of 900.

    900 x. 75 = 675, the same as the counselor's determination.
