10. 3 Random Outcomes Twenty randomly chosen high school students were asked to estimate the percent of students in their school who are planning to attend college. Base your answers to the questions on their responses. 25 45 60 90 70 75 50 33 35 20 65 65 55 80 85 70 65 50 75 60 What are the chances that the next student asked will give an estimate of at least 75%? If there are 4500 students in this high school, how many students do you think will give an estimate greater than or equal to 50%? Are we calculating theoretical or experimental probabilities?
