Avery randomly selects 50 colored pencils from a basket and finds that 2 are not sharpened.
Therefore, the probability of selecting a colored pencil that is not sharpened is 2/50 = 1/25.
If there are 300 colored pencils in the basket, the number of unsharpened colored pencils can be calculated as follows:
Number of unsharpened colored pencils = (1/25) * 300 = 12
Therefore, there are 12 unsharpened colored pencils in the basket.
Therefore, the probability of selecting a colored pencil that is not sharpened is 2/50 = 1/25.
If there are 300 colored pencils in the basket, the number of unsharpened colored pencils can be calculated as follows:
Number of unsharpened colored pencils = (1/25) * 300 = 12
Therefore, there are 12 unsharpened colored pencils in the basket.
