To determine how many of the next 24 horses should be expected to be bay horses, we first need to find the proportion of bay horses currently at the stable.
There are 12 bay horses out of 32 total horses, which gives us the proportion of bay horses:
[
text{Proportion of bay horses} = frac{12}{32} = frac{3}{8}
]
Next, we apply this proportion to the next 24 horses:
[
text{Expected number of bay horses} = frac{3}{8} times 24 = 9
]
So, we would expect about 9 of the next 24 horses to be bay horses.
