Question

approximately 0.02% of north atlantic lobsters are born bright blue in color. Out of 5,000 North Atlantic lobsters, how many would you expect to be blue in color

Answer 1

find 0.02% of all of them
percent means parts out of 100
0.02%=0.02/100=0.002/10=0.0002/1=0.0002

5000 times 0.0002=1

I would expect 1 to be blue

Answer 2

5000 divided by 0.02 is 100. Only about 100 of the lobsters will be born blue in color. Hope I helped!
