Part of the population of 10,800 hawks at a
national park are building a nest. A random
sample of 72 hawks shows that 12 of them
are building a nest. Estimate the number of
hawks building a nest in the population.
If 12 hawks in 72 are buildings nests, we can say that the portion of hawks building nests is 12/72, or 1/6. Multiply 1/6 by 10800, which gives 1800 hawks building nests
