There are 2 digits (8,9) greater than 7. So every student has a 1/5 chance of choosing a digit greater than 7. With 25 students, the expected number that choose a digit greater than 7 is 25/5 = 5.
I would not say the "predicted" number, but rather the "expected" number. The expected value may not always be an outcome.
Each student in a class of 25 students wrote down a random digit. What is the predicted number of students who wrote a digit that is greater than 7?
The answer is 5... How did they get 5?
THANK YOU!!
