    B) 36 girls will choose the zoo

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The data from sample gathered is

    Boys Girls

    Zoo 15 8

    Museum 10 12

    Total 25 20

    The question asks about what will the data for 90 girls and 78 boys will look like. We can use the data as proportion and make the expected value for the new data. There are 90 girls in the question and the sample is 20 girls, so it's 90/20 = 4.5 times larger than the sample. The expected data will be:

    Girls

    Zoo 8 x 4.5 = 36

    Museum 12 x 4.5 = 54

    Total 20x 4.5 = 90

    The number of boys is 78 while the sample is 25, the data will be

    Boys

    Zoo 15 x 78/25 = 46.8

    Museum 10 x 78/25 = 31.2

    Total 25x 78/25 = 78

    The answer will be 36 girls will choose the zoo
