Answer: attending the game

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 12 out of the first 48 people who entered the stands were wearing a coat.

That means, Proportion of people wearing coat = [tex]\dfrac{12}{48}=\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]  (People wearing coat divided by Total people)

Total people in the sample attending the game= 200

Number of people wearing a coat = [tex]200\times\dfrac14[/tex]

[tex]=50[/tex]

Hence, 50 people are wearing a coat.
