Q. 2 About 1−2% of the population has red hair. If 800 people were randomly sampled, about how many of them would you expect to be red heads?
Calculate lower estimate: Calculate the lower estimate using 1% of 800 people.1% of 800=0.01×800=8
Calculate higher estimate: Calculate the higher estimate using 2% of 800 people.2% of 800 = 0.02×800 = 16
Determine expected number: Since the percentage range is 1−2%, the expected number of red heads would be between the lower and higher estimates.So, we can expect about 8 to 16 red heads in the sample of 800 people.
