Question

4. Emilio asks his classmates what month they were born. He finds that 15

out of 125 classmates were born in July. If there are 1,280 students in
Emilio's school, how many students can he expect to have birthdays in July
based on the experimental probability?
Ok

Answer 1

Answer:153

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Emilio asks his classmates what month they were born and that he finds that 15 out of 125 classmates were born in July. This gives us a fraction of 15/125 = 3/25.

If there are 1,280 students in Emilio's school, the number of students that he can expect to have birthdays in July would be:

= 3/25 × 1280

= 153.6

There will be 153 students expected
