Answer :

Given:

Suppose 11 out of 15 students said they were attending the football game.

To find:

How many students out of 375 would you expect to NOT attend the football game?

Solution:

It is given that 11 out of 15 students said they were attending the football game.

[tex]15-11=4[/tex]

It means 4 out of 15 were not attending the football.

Let x students out of 375 would you expect to NOT attend the football game.

The ratio of students who not attend the football game and total students are equal.

[tex]\dfrac{x}{375}=\dfrac{4}{15}[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{4}{15}\times 375[/tex]

[tex]x=100[/tex]

Therefore, 100 students out of 375 would you expect to NOT attend the football game.
