A game show contestant randomly draws a chip from a bag and replaces it. Each chip says either win or lose. The theoretical probability of drawing a winning chip is 3/10. The bag contains 9 winning chips.


17) How many chips are in the bag?

248 character(s) left
Correct!

18) Out of 20 contestants how many do you expect to draw a winning chip? 

249 character(s) left
Correct!

19)

There are 8 males and 10 females in a class. What is the theoretical probability that a randomly chosen student is a male?

Correct!

20) There are 8 males and 10 females in a class. One week later 27 students in the class. The theoretical probability that a randomly chosen student is the male is the same as last week. How many females joined the Class?
