If David missed the bus 4 times during the last 6 weeks, we can use a proportion to estimate how many times he is likely to miss the bus in the next 18 weeks, assuming his bus-missing behavior remains constant:
missed buses / total weeks = missed buses / total weeks
Using this formula, we can write:
4/6 = x/18
where x is the number of times David is expected to miss the bus in the next 18 weeks.
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and simplify:
4 * 18 = 6 * x
72 = 6x
x = 12
Therefore, based on the assumption that David's bus-missing behavior remains constant, he is expected to miss the bus 12 times in the next 18 weeks.
