Question

The penguins won 5 out of 8 preseason games. If their the same through 82 regular season games, about have many regular season games would you expect t win?
A 63
B 51
C 76
D 32

Answer 1

Use probability to answer this. If they win 5 out of 8 games, you can find their probability of win by dividing 5 by 8
5/8= 0.625
Now multiply this by the number of games they play to see how many they will win:
82 x 0.625 = 51.25 round since you cant have .25 of a game
B) 51
