Part of the population of 7,500 elk at a wildlife preserve is infected with a parasite. A random sample of 50 elk shows that 10 of them are infected. How many elk are likely to be infected?
Based on the sample, there will likely be
infected elk in the wildlife preserve.

1500 elk are likely to be infected.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that part of the population of 7,500 elk at a wildlife preserve is infected with a parasite, and a random sample of 50 elk shows that 10 of them are infected, to determine how many elk are likely to be infected, the following calculation must be performed:

50 = 10

7500 = X

7500 x 10/50 = X

75000/50 = X

1500 = X

Therefore, 1500 elk are likely to be infected.
