Suppose the probability of selecting a supermarket shopper who prefers plastic bags in a paper bag and 75% out of 160 shoppers how many can you expect will prefer a plastic bags

Answer 1

Out of 160 shoppers, 75% prefer plastic bags.

So, the expected number of shoppers who prefer plastic bags can be calculated as:

Expected number of shoppers = Total number of shoppers * Probability of selecting a shopper who prefers plastic bags
Expected number of shoppers = 160 * 0.75
Expected number of shoppers = 120

Therefore, you can expect 120 shoppers out of 160 to prefer plastic bags.
