Abry randomly selects 50 color pencils from the basket and pines that too are not sharp and if the basket contains 300 color pencils.How many would you expect to be uncharfing

Answer 1

If Abry randomly selects 50 color pencils out of 300, we can use probability to calculate the expected number of unsharpened pencils.

First, we find the probability that a randomly selected pencil is unsharpened:
Number of unsharpened pencils = 300 - 50 = 250
Probability of selecting an unsharpened pencil = 250/300 = 5/6

Now, we can calculate the expected number of unsharpened pencils in 50 selections:
Expected number of unsharpened pencils = 50 * (5/6) ≈ 41.67

Therefore, we would expect approximately 41 unsharpened color pencils out of the 50 selected by Abry.
