Answer:

Around 375 times.

Explanation:

Jose is going to use a random number generator 500 times. Each time he uses it, he will get a 1, 2, 3, or 4.

This means, we can assume that each number has a 25% chance to generate.

Now, we have been asked to predict that Jose will get something other than a 2 means 1,3 and 4.

That will be close to 75%.

So,
0.75*500=375

Therefore, Jose can get something other than 2 around 375 times.
