Question

Twenty percent of candies in a package are red. The rest are another color.

Simulate randomly checking 20 packages for red candies using these randomly generated digits. Let the digits 1 and 2 represent a red candy.
91027 18200 74536 83514
Approximately how many red candies will be in the packages?

Answer 1

5

This is the correct answer! I just took the test! Good luck!

Answer 2

The number of red candies in the package are:

5

Explanation:

We are given that:

Digit 1 and 2 denote that the candy is a red candy.

Also, the simulations are given as:

91027 18200 74536 83514

That means total number of outcomes =20

The number of outcomes that represent that a red candy is in the package are: 5

Since the outcomes are: {1,2,1,2,1}

Hence, approximately the number of red candies in the package is:

5.
