Jane took a survey at school and found that 3 of the students surveyed planned to take wood shop as their next elective, while 9 of them planned to take other electives. If Jane surveys 16 more students, how many of them are probably planning on taking wood shop as an elective, based on past data?

4 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the previous data there were 12 students in total, 3 of them involved in wood shop elective. This would mean that 25% of all students were interested with wood shop elective since 3/12 is 1/4 (one out of every 4 students plan on taking wood shop)

If the same data holds up then for every 4 students out of the 16, one would be interested in wood shop elective. 16×(.25) or 25% of 16 which is 4 since 4×4=16.

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.

solving with completing the square
