Q: Estimate the number of students and interns in and around New York.

Clarifying Questions:
1. What do you mean by a student - School Students or College ones?
Ans. Consider both school, highschool and college/university.

Assumptions:
Newyork Population - 20M
Neglecting the playschool and nursery students.

Calculation of Number of students in Newyork:
Total Number of Students = School + High School + College

NY Population: 20M
Age 0 - 3 : 5% - 1M
Age 3 - 14: 15% - 3M
Age 15 - 18: 15% - 3M
Age 18 - 24: 15% - 3M
Age 25 - 40: 25% - 5M
Age 40 - 60 : 15% - 3M
Age 60+ : 10% - 2M

School Students: X*3M

X = Not All kids in this age group would be able to get education. considering primary education has become a necessity these days and america being one of the well developed countries, i am considering 70% of these age group are students

School Students: 2.1M

Similarly, 60% of school students opt for Highschool

High School: 0.6*2.1 = 1.2M

Considering the 40% of the Highschool students opt for further higher studies

University/College: 0.4*1.2 = 0.5M

Total Number of students = 3.8M students (19% of NY Population)

Interns:
Assumptions:

Majorly, College students opt for the internships, so neglecting the other students and non - students for the ease of calculation.
