The table shows the data of a random sample of fish that were collected from and later released into a lake.


Type of Fish Bass Eel Gar
Number of Fish 92 56 52


How many bass are estimated to be present if a sample of 1,000 fish is collected from the lake?
1: 184
2: 292
3: 420
4: 460

Respuesta :

total fish listed in the table:
92 + 56 + 52 = 200

92 were Bass, so 92/200 = 0.46 = 46% of the sample were bass

 based on that 46% of 1000 fish would be bass

1000 * 0.46 = 460

the answer would be 4. 460
