To find the number of people who have tested positive for Corona among the 7,290 suspected individuals using the given proportion [tex]$\frac{3}{10}$[/tex], follow these detailed steps:
1. Identify the total number of suspected people:
The total number of suspected people is given as 7,290.
2. Determine the proportion of people who tested positive:
The proportion of people found to be Corona positive is given as [tex]$\frac{3}{10}$[/tex].
3. Calculate the number of people who have tested positive:
To find the number of Corona positive individuals, multiply the total number of suspected people by the given proportion.
Here is the step-by-step computation:
- First, identify the total number of suspected individuals: 7,290.
- Then, use the given proportion, which is [tex]$\frac{3}{10}$[/tex].
Now, perform the multiplication:
[tex]\[
\text{Number of Corona positive people} = \text{Total number of suspected people} \times \text{Proportion of positive cases}
\][/tex]
Substitution into the formula gives:
[tex]\[
\text{Number of Corona positive people} = 7290 \times \frac{3}{10}
\][/tex]
4. Perform the multiplication:
[tex]\[
7290 \times \frac{3}{10} = 7290 \times 0.3
\][/tex]
The result of this multiplication is:
[tex]\[
2187.0
\][/tex]
Therefore, the number of people who have tested positive for Corona is 2,187.
