Question

Before a new video game is released, it is tested by a number of volunteer gamers. During testing, the experimental probability of completing a new game with a perfect score was found to be StartFraction 1 over 500 EndFraction. If 1,000,000 people buy and play the game when it is released, how many players will complete the game with a perfect score?

Answer 1

2000 people

Explanation:

Answer 2

2000 players will complete the game with a perfect score.

Explanation:

The testing phase tells us that
`(1)/(500)` is the probability that a person will finish with a perfect score.

This means 1 out of 500 people will be able to finish with perfect score.

Now,

the game is given to 1,000,000 (1 million) people and how much do we expect to finish with perfect score?? Simple! It would be
`(1)/(500)`the of 1 million!

We do the calculation shown below:

`(1)/(500)*1,000,000=2000`

So, 2000 players will complete the game with a perfect score.
