Question

A random number generator is used to create a list of 300 single-digit numbers. Of those 300 numbers, 146 are odd and 154 are even. The number 8 was generated 22 times. What is the experimental probability of an even number other than 8 being generated? Write your answer as a decimal to the nearest hundredths place.

Answer 1

the answer is 0.44 had to look everywhere for it

Answer 2

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.
