    Carmen used a random number generator to simulate a survey of how many children live in the households in her town. There are 1,346 unique addresses in her town with numbers ranging from zero to five children. The results of 50 randomly generated households are shown below. Children in 50 Households Number of Children Number of Households 0 5 1 11 2 13 3 10 4 9 5 2 Using a proportion, what can you infer about the number of households in her town that have more than three children?

    A) About 242 households have more than three children.

    B) About 269 households have more than three children.

    C) About 296 households have more than three children.

    D) About 565 households have more than three children.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The given sample size is 50

    The number of households with more than three children = 9+2

    = 11

    The proportion of household where more than three children are present is calculated by:

    Household with a greater number of children/sample size

    = 11/50

    The original household size = 1,346

    Therefore, the amount of household with children greater than 3 is:

    = 1346*11/50

    = 1346 * 0.22

    = 296.12

    = 296

    Thus, about 296 households have more than three children.
