Question

A new movie opened the other day. So far, 500,000 people have seen it. The producers of the movie needed to know if the people liked it. A random sample of 8,000 people leaving showings of the movie were asked if they liked the movie. Of those interviewed, 4,200 enjoyed the movie. Predict the total number of people who have enjoyed the movie.

Answer 1

We can solve this by setting up a proportion. 

$\frac{4,200}{8,000} \frac{x}{500,000}$

Then solve for x. 

4200 x 500000 = 2100000000
2100000000/8000 = 262500

The answer is about 262,500
