The table shows the data of a random sample of fish that were collected from and later released into a lake.



Type of Fish Bass Eel Gar

Number of Fish 92 56 52



How many eels are estimated to be present if a sample of 1,000 fish is collected from the lake?

Verified Answer :

280 eels

92 + 56 + 52 = 200
eel = 56/200

 56    5       x   
-----    =   --------
200   5   1000
56(5) = 280 x = 280

56/200 = 7/25 
7/25 = 280/1000

280 is not an option but 292 is and 292 is the right answer trust me i took the pre-test btw good luck <3
