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?

• 450
• 2/3
• 600
• 300

1 answer

Since participants have an equal chance of receiving each type of coupon, we can find the expected number of people who would receive a coupon for sleigh rides by dividing the total number of participants by the number of options (3).

Expected number of people receiving a coupon for sleigh rides = 900 / 3 = 300

Therefore, the expected number of people who would receive a coupon for sleigh rides is 300.

Answer: 300
