Estimating T-Shirt Orders for Field Day: Proportional Reasoning

Learn how to use proportional reasoning to estimate the number of t-shirts of each size to order for a field day. Review the concept of random sampling and how it helps in making valid inferences about the entire population. Explore how to set up and solve proportions using multiplication or cross-multiplication. Understand that estimates made from random samples are not exact but provide a close approximation for the entire population.
