Answer: Around 96 people would prefer creamy peanut butter.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the survey was found that 4 out of 5 preferred creamy over chunky peanut butter.

Then the relative frequency is:

4/5 = 0.8 prefer creamy peanut butter.

And we can assume that:

1/5 = 0.2 prefer chunky peanut butter.

We also could multiply these numbers by 100% to obtain the percentage forms:

0.8*100% = 80%

0.2*100% = 20%

Now, if there are 120 people in the grocery store, we can expect that the 80% will prefer creamy peanut butter.

Then we can expect that the number of people that prefers creamy peanut butter is:

N = (80%/100%)*120 = 0.8*120 = 96

Around 96 people would prefer creamy peanut butter.

Andrew drives through 5 intersections with stoplights on his way to work. He records that he is stopped by a red light in 2 of t
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

He should expect to be stopped a total of 16 times

Step-by-step explanation:

What the question is saying is that out of every 5 intersections, he would be stopped at 2.

Now, for forty times in which he passes through an intersection , we want to know the number of times in which he would be stopped

In this case we only need to multiply the probability by the number of times in which he passes an intersection and that would be 2/5 * 40 = 16 times
