drawing a blue tile is 80% and the probability of drawing a red tile is 20%.
what is the expected number of blue tiles in 25 draws?



Answer :

Answer:

The expected number of blue tiles is 20 blue tiles.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can easily do 80% x 25 or

0.8 x 25 = 20

OR (other method)
Turn the 80% into a fraction
80        x
----  =  -----
100     25

100 / 4 gives us 25, so 80 / 4 will give 20.

So the answer is 20 blue tiles.
