Of the first 25 fans who entered a baseball game, 9 were wearing hats. If a total of 300 fans are at a game, how many would you expect to NOT be wearing baseball hats?(1 point)
Based on the ratio of fans wearing hats to total fans in the first 25, we can calculate the proportion of fans wearing hats:
9 fans wearing hats / 25 total fans = 0.36
This proportion can then be used to estimate the number of fans not wearing hats in the total crowd of 300:
0.36 x 300 total fans = 108 fans not wearing hats
Therefore, you would expect 108 fans at the baseball game to not be wearing baseball hats.
is this right
Apologies for the error in my previous response. Let's correct the calculation:
If 9 out of 25 fans are wearing hats, then 16 out of 25 fans are not wearing hats. This means that 16/25 = 0.64 of the fans are not wearing hats.
To find the number of fans not wearing hats out of the total 300 fans:
0.64 x 300 = 192 fans
Therefore, you would expect 192 fans at the baseball game to not be wearing baseball hats. Thank you for pointing out the mistake.
