The people in a country are partitioned into clans.  In order to estimate the average size of a clan, a survey is conducted where 1000 randomly selected people are asked to state the size of the clan to which they belong.  How does one compute an estimate average clan size from the data collected?

    The formula which calculates the percentage of people in a clan can be written as

    (Number of people in a particular clan/1000)*100

    Then  multiply the total number with the percentage as follows

    Total people in country*(Percentage of people in the clan/100)


    This would give us the estimated number of people in a particular clan.
