Question

I WILL MARK AS BRAINLIEST AND AWARD A LOT OF POINTS PLZ HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!Michael, Ronald, Lidia, Alexandra, and Catherine are sharing a basket of fries. The following table shows an incomplete probability model for who will eat the next fry. Michael has a probability of 0.3. Lidia has a probability of 0.1. Alexandra has the probability of 0.32. Catherine has the probability of 0.1. If there are 200 fries in the basket, which of the following is the best prediction for the number of fries that Ronald will eat?
A)10
B)36
C)60
D)64

Answer 1

Answer:

36 fries

Step-by-step explanation:

find out the probability of Ronald eating the next fry

0.3+0.1+0.32+0.1=0.82

0.82=82%

subtract 82 from 100 to find the missing %

100-82=18

18%

Ronald has an 18% chance of eating the next fry

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

divide each possible anwer by the total # of fries

10/200= 0.05

36/200=0.18

36 is the correct answer because you get the probability percentage,0.18

hope this helps! plz vote my answer the brainist if it does

Answer 2

Answer:

36 fries

Step-by-step explanation:

Michael has a probability of 0.3.

Lidia has a probability of 0.1.

Alexandra has the probability of 0.32.

Catherine has the probability of 0.1.

Let the probability of Ronald be x

Sum of all the probabilities must be 1

So, $0.3+0.1+0.32+0.1+x=1$

$0.82+x=1$

$x=0.18$

So, probability of Ronald is 0.18

We are given that here are 200 fries in the basket.

So, the number of fries that Ronald will eat = $0.18 \times 200 =36$

Hence Ronald will eat 36 fries.
