A community center wants to estimate the number of its members who are interested in joining a new fitness program. They sent an email survey to 200 randomly selected members from their database. Of the 100 members who responded, 40 indicated interest in the fitness program. The community center has a total of 2,500 members. Which of the following is the most appropriate conclusion?
Exactly 1,000 members are interested in the fitness program.
The best estimate for the number of members interested in the fitness program is 1,000, assuming the respondents are representative of all members.
The best estimate for the number of members interested in the fitness program is 500.
The survey results are unreliable because only half of the surveyed members responded.
