Answer 1

Number of people who want to move to other countries =71

Out of 71 people, number of people who wanted to move to USA =24

So, Proportion of people who want to move to USA than to Canada or UK is 24/71 =0.338028

Now we sample 1 million people. So out of 1 million people there would be 29/100=0.29 percent who would be willing to stay in country i.e 290000 people would want to stay in country.

From the rest 1 million-290000=710000 people, number of people who would want to mive to USA than to Canada or UK is = 710000*0.338028=239999.88 =approximately 240000 people.
