Steve · Answer 1

x = 20 * s / 300

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, it is solved by means of a rule of three, that is, we know that 20 of 300 answered yes, but in the case of the strata sample, since it is a value that is not mentioned in the problem, we will assume it as " s "and the people who were selected as" x ". would:

20 x

300 s

Therefore, x:

x = 20 * s / 300

and thus they would give us the number of people that would be selected.

For example, if "s" were 240, it would be:

x = 20 * 240/300

x = 16

that is, 16 people would be selected
