Suppose the probability of selecting a movie goer who prefers candy instead of popcorn is 50%. Out of 300 movie goers, how many can you expect will prefer candy?

Question

50
100
150
75

Answer 1

150

To calculate this, you simply multiply the total number of movie goers (300) by the probability of selecting a movie goer who prefers candy (50% or 0.5).

300 * 0.5 = 150

Therefore, you can expect 150 movie goers out of 300 to prefer candy.
