The correct answer is:

0.44.

Explanation:

There were 300 total numbers drawn. Out of this, there were 154 even numbers.

Since the number 8 was drawn 22 times, and we want to know the number of times an even number other than 8 was drawn, we subtract 22 from 154:

154-22 = 132

This gives us the probability 132/300. Both of these are divisible by 3:

(132÷3)/(300÷3) = 44/100

This is the decimal 0.44.
