Based on the data, about how many people would pick a pig as a pet in a
population of 10,000?
A 850
B 600
C 1200

Option B: 600 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this question, we will first find the probability or ratio of people out of 200 who will love to have pig as a pet

We know that

Sample size = n(S) = 200

Let A be the event that people will pick pig as pet

Number of people who pick pig = n(A) = 12

Thus the probability is:

0.06 is the probability for the sample of 200. To find it for the whole population we will simply multiply the probability with population size.

So,

Hence,

Option B: 600 is the correct answer.
