Chen is going to listen to 360 songs. What is the best prediction for the number of times Chen will listen to a classical song? Choose 1 answer: (A) Exactly 90 times (B) Close to 90 times but probably not exactly 90 times (c) Exactly 160 times (D) Close to 160 times but probably not exactly 160 times

Question

Calculate Total Number of Songs: Calculate the total number of songs on Chen's Jumble. Total number of songs = Number of classical songs + Number of rock songs + Number of rap songs Total number of songs = 4 + 3 + 2 Total number of songs = 9Calculate Probability of Selecting: Calculate the probability of selecting a classical song. Probability of selecting a classical song = Number of classical songs / Total number of songs Probability of selecting a classical song = 4 / 9Predict Number of Times: Predict the number of times Chen will listen to a classical song. Expected number of times listening to a classical song = Probability of selecting a classical song * Total number of songs listened to Expected number of times listening to a classical song = (4 / 9) * 360Perform Calculation: Perform the calculation to find the expected number of times. Expected number of times listening to a classical song = (4 / 9) * 360 Expected number of times listening to a classical song = 4 * 40 Expected number of times listening to a classical song = 160
