Answer:

70 times.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

SHAPE >>>>>>>>>>>>> FREQUENCY

Oval >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 18

Rectangle >>>>>>>>>> 14

Star >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 8

TOTAL >>>>>>>>>>>>> 40

next, we shall determine the probability of chosing a rectangular cracker. This is illustrated below:

Event of Rectangle (nR) = 14

Sample space (S) = 40

Probability of chosing rectangle, P(R) =?

P(R) = nR/nS

P(R) = 14/40

P(R) = 7/20

Therefore, the probability of chosing a rectangular cracker is 7/20.

Thus, if the process were carried out 200 times, the probability of chosing a rectangular cracker will be:

= P(R) × 200

P(R) = 7/20

= 7/20 × 200

= 70

Therefore, max will chose a rectangular cracker 70 times.
