The failure rate for taking the bar exam in Philadelphia is 41%. If 375 people take the bar exam, what is the expectation for the number of failures?

Answer 1

The expectation for the number of failures is calculated by multiplying the failure rate by the total number of people taking the bar exam.

Expectation for number of failures = Failure rate * Total number of people taking the bar exam
= 41% * 375
= 0.41 * 375
= 153.75

Therefore, the expectation for the number of failures is approximately 153.75.
