A university class has had 18 adult education students enrolled so far, as well as 18 other students. Considering this data, how many of the next 14 students to enroll should you expect to be adult education students?

To solve this problem, we first need to determine the proportion of adult education students in the current enrollment.
1. Total current students = 18 (adult education) + 18 (other) = 36 students.
2. Proportion of adult education students = 18 adult education students / 36 total students = 0.5 or 50%.
Now, to find out how many of the next 14 students should be expected to be adult education students:
3. Expected adult education students = 50% of 14 = 0.5 * 14 = 7.
So, you should expect approximately 7 of the next 14 students to be adult education students.
To find out how many of the next 14 students to enroll are expected to be adult education students, we first need to determine the proportion of adult education students in the current enrollment.
Currently, there are 18 adult education students out of a total of 18 + 18 = 36 students.
The proportion of adult education students is:
[ text{Proportion of adult education students} = frac{18}{36} = frac{1}{2} ]
This means 50% of the current students are adult education students.
To find the expected number of adult education students among the next 14 students:
[ text{Expected adult education students} = 14 times frac{1}{2} = 7 ]
Therefore, you can expect approximately 7 of the next 14 students to be adult education students.
To find the expected number of adult education students among the next 14 students to enroll, we first determine the proportion of adult education students in the existing class.
Currently, there are 18 adult education students and 18 other students, for a total of:
18 + 18 = 36 students.
The proportion of adult education students is:
18 adult education students / 36 total students = 0.5.
Now, if we expect the same proportion among the next 14 students, we calculate:
0.5 × 14 = 7.
Therefore, you should expect about 7 adult education students among the next 14 students to enroll.
