The expected number of people receiving a coupon for sleigh rides can be calculated by multiplying the total number of participants by the probability of receiving a coupon for sleigh rides. Since there are three choices and each has an equal chance, the probability of receiving a sleigh ride coupon is 1/3.
Therefore, 900 participants * 1/3 = 900/3 = 300
Therefore, the expected number of people receiving a coupon for sleigh rides is 300.
