Question

Pick a number from the following list: 1, 2, 3, 4. Write it down. If each student in a class of 50 were also to pick a number, how many would you guess had selected the same number as you did?

Answer 1

there are 4 choices. statistically, that means each student is likely to choose each number 25% of the time. what is 25 percent of 50 people? 12.5 people. round this up to 13 people or down to 12 people (can't have half of a person)

answer: 12-13 people

Answer 2

13

Explanation:

There are four numbers(1,2,3,4) in the list, therefore the numbers of choice are 4. Each number in the list have equally chance to pick out by student.

The total number of the students in the class are 50.

So,the chance of any number gets picked by the student is
`=(100)/(4) \\` =25%.

Total number of student is 50.

25% of 50 will be 12.5

Hence number of students never be in decimal form, therefor number of student will be 13.
