Question

A high school has 438 students, with about the same number of males as females.Describe a simulation to predict how many of the first 50 students who leave the school at the end of the day are female.

Answer 1

Males=females
438 divide by 2 equals 219
50 divided by 2 equals 25
Answer: 25 females

Answer 2

Total number of students in the high school = 438

As its given, the number of males and females are almost same, so the number of males students are =
`(438)/(2)= 219`

Its asked if the first 50 students leave the school. then how many are females, so it can be given as =
`(50)/(2)=25`

So, the chances of the students being females are
`(25)/(50)` or
`(1)/(2)`.

Hence, 25 females can leave the school out of 50 students.
