Answer:

  45,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a 30 minute sample of a constant stream shows 2250 people entered the gate, you want an estimate of the total number of people through the gate in 10 hours.

Attendance

A half-hour period is 1/20 of the 10-hour period the gate was open. The rate is assumed constant, so the 2250 people entering in that half-hour period is presumed to be 1/20 of the total attendance.

  20 · 2250 = 45000

The estimated festival attendance is 45,000 people.
