A cereal company hopes to increase its sales by putting prizes in randomly selected boxes of its lowest-selling

children's cereal. The company claims that the probability of getting a prize is 0.75.
Which is the correct interpretation of this probability?
This company expects to increase cereal sales by 75%.
There is a guarantee of getting 3 prizes when buying 4 boxes of this type of cereal.
In many, many boxes of cereal of this type, we can expect about 75% of the boxes to contain a prize.
The claim of this company is correct if exactly 75 out of 100 boxes of this type of cereal contain a prize.
