As part of a promotion people who participate in a survey are sent a free coupon for one of three winter activities, skiing or 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 per sleigh rides Would it be 300 or 600 or 2/3 or 450

1 answer

Each participant has an equal chance of receiving a coupon for each activity. Since there are 3 activities (skiing, snow tubing, and sleigh rides), the probability of receiving a coupon for sleigh rides would be 1/3.

To calculate the expected number of people who would receive a coupon for sleigh rides, multiply the total number of participants by the probability of receiving a coupon for sleigh rides:
900 participants * 1/3 = 300

Therefore, it is expected that 300 people would receive a coupon for sleigh rides.
