Answer:

The expected number of cheese pizza among the 189 pizzas sold is 42.

Explanation:

The distribution of different choices of pizza at the local pizza shop is:

Pizza Frequency

Pepperoni 11

Supreme 7

Cheese 6

Hawaiian 3

_______________

TOTAL 27

Compute the probability of selecting a cheese pizza as follows:


P(Cheese)=(n(Cheese))/(N)=(6)/(27)=0.222

Let X = number of cheese pizza sold.

A total of n = 189 pizzas were sold. The probability of selling a cheese pizza is, p = 0.222.

The event of a randomly selected pizza can either cheese or not, is independent of the other pizzas.

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 189 and p = 0.222.

The expected value of X is:


E(X)=np

Compute the expected number of cheese pizza among the 189 pizzas sold as follows:


E(X)=np


=189* 0.222\\=41.958\\\approx 42

Thus, the expected number of cheese pizza among the 189 pizzas sold is 42.
