Experimental Probability Quick Check 5 of 55 of 5 Items Question As part of a promotion, people who participate in a survey are sent a free coupon for one of three winter activities: skiing, snow tubing, or sleigh rides. Participants have an equal chance of receiving each type of coupon. If 900 people participate, how many would be expected to receive a coupon for sleigh rides?(1 point) Responses 23 Start Fraction 2 over 3 End Fraction 600 600 450 450 300

Answer 1

23

Each type of coupon has an equal chance of being received, so the expected number of people receiving a sleigh ride coupon would be 1/3 of the total participants.
1/3 * 900 = 300

Therefore, 300 people would be expected to receive a coupon for sleigh rides.
