Animals were trapped in a city and later released into the wild. A random sample of the data is provided in the table below. Animal type Raccoon Skunk Fox
Number of animal 230 140 120
If a random sample of 5,000 animals are trapped in the city, how many skunks would be estimated to be included? (3 points)

a
2,500

b
280

c
1,400

d
380

c

1,400

Step-by-step explanation:

We take the sample proportion of skunks and estimate for the entire population.

Sample:

140 skunks out of 230 + 140 + 120 = 490 animals.

140/490 = 0.28571428571

If a random sample of 5,000 animals are trapped in the city, how many skunks would be estimated to be included?

0.28571428571 out of 5000. So

0.28571428571*5000 = 1429

Close to 1400, which means that the answer is given by option C.
