Answer:

Almost 3 persons are expected to hit HHH.

Explanation:

To find the answer we must use the diagram, we see that among 8 possible results, there's one possible outcome to hit HHH.

So, to find the amount of people that are expected to hit HHH, we just have to multiply each percentage assigned to the HHH outcome:


(0.7)(0.5)(0.3)=0.105

Now, we see that a 10.5% of the people will be expected to hit HHH.

The approximate number of people would be:


25(0.105) \approx 3

Therefore, almost 3 persons are expected to hit HHH.
