Of the first 25 fans who entered a basball game, 9 were wearing hats. If a total of 300 fans are at a game , how many would you expect to NOT be wearing basball hats?

Answer 1

Out of the first 25 fans, 9 were wearing hats, which means 16 were not wearing hats.

To find out how many fans out of 300 would not be wearing hats, we can set up a proportion:

16 fans out of 25 were not wearing hats
x fans out of 300 would not be wearing hats

(16/25) = (x/300)

Cross multiply:
25x = 16 * 300
25x = 4800
x = 192

Therefore, you would expect 192 fans out of 300 to NOT be wearing baseball hats.
