Question

The experimental probability of winning a game is 2/7. How many times can you expect to win the game if you play 56 times?

Question options:

7


56


16


8

Answer 1

You would expect to win the game 16 times.

Explanation:

I set up a proportion for this :

2/7 = x/56

2(56) = 7x (cross multiply)

112 = 7x (multiply 2 and 56)

x = 16 (divide 7 from both sides)
