Question

1. The Tigers have won 12 out of 15 hockey games. If

they play 5 more games, would you expect them to win 4? Explain your thinking.

Answer 1

You would use the ratio to solve this problem.

12:15=4:5

Since the ratio of expected numbers of games they would win to the total number of games they will play is equal to the ratio of number of games they won to the total number of games they played, the answer would be YES.
