Dream job: In a Marist College pool of 1004 adults, 291 chose professional athlete as their dream job. Assume that 25% of adults consider being a professional athlete their dream job.

A. What can you conclude?

Solution

Ans: Total pool =1004

Proportion of people choosing athele as their dream job = 291/1004 = 0.28

Number of people who consider atheletics as their dream job= 0.25*1004 = 251

Thus, the conclusion that follows is that the people who actually end up choosing atheletics as their dream job is higher than the proportion who actually consider it being that.
