Let's begin by identifying key information given to us:

Number of students surveyed = 25

Survey breakdown: 3 students spend 0 hours, 4 students spend 1 hour, five students spend 2 hours, 7 students spend 3 hours, 3 students spend 4 hours, 2 students spend 6 hours, 1 student spends 1 hour

If total number of students = 2,000

The number of students who play a sport or outdoor game for 4 hours is given by:

[tex]\begin{gathered} n=\frac{NumberOfStudentsWhoPlayFor4hours}{\text{Survey Sample}}\cdot TotalEstimatedSample \\ n=\frac{3}{25}\cdot2000=240 \\ n=240students \end{gathered}[/tex]

The estimate of students who play a sport or outdoor games for 4 hours amongst 2,000 students is 240
