Question

Select the correct answer.

Answer 1

Answer: B. 12

Step-by-step explanation: Expected no. = No. of trials × p

= 40 × 0.3

= 12

Answer 2

Answer:

B.  12

Step-by-step explanation:

Experimental probability is calculated by dividing the number of times an event happens by the total number of trials in an actual experiment.

$\textsf{Experimental Probability} = \dfrac{\textsf{Number of times an event happens}}{\textsf{Total number of trials}}$

Given information:

• Experimental probability of picking an apple = 0.3
• Total number of trials = 40

Substitute the given values into the formula:

$\implies \sf 0.3=\dfrac{\textsf{Number of times Jenson picked an apple}}{40}$

$\implies \sf \textsf{Number of times Jenson picked an apple}=0.3 \times 40=12$

Therefore, Jenson picked an apple 12 times during the 40 trials.
