A deck of 10 cards labeled 1--10 is shiffuled. 1 card is selected @ random. If da experiment is repeated 120 times, how many times will u except 2 select number 5?

A ) 1/10

B ) 12

C ) 1/120

D ) 10

1 answer

To find the expected number of times you would select the number 5 when drawing from a deck of 10 cards labeled 1 to 10, you can use the concept of probability.

The probability of selecting the number 5 in one draw is:

\[ P(\text{selecting 5}) = \frac{1}{10} \]

If you repeat this experiment 120 times, the expected number of times you would select the number 5 can be calculated by multiplying the probability of selecting 5 by the number of trials:

\[ \text{Expected number of times selecting 5} = P(\text{selecting 5}) \times \text{number of trials} \]

\[ \text{Expected number of times selecting 5} = \frac{1}{10} \times 120 = 12 \]

Thus, the answer is:

B) 12
