Determine odd number probability: Determine the probability of getting an odd number from the random number generator.The random number generator produces numbers 1,2,3,4, and 5. The odd numbers in this set are 1,3, and 5.
Calculate probability of odd number: Calculate the probability of getting an odd number. There are 3 odd numbers out of 5 possible outcomes, so the probability of getting an odd number is 53.
Predict odd number occurrences: Predict the number of times Leo will get an odd number after 400 uses.To find the expected number of times Leo will get an odd number, multiply the total number of uses by the probability of getting an odd number.Expected number of odd outcomes =(Probability of odd number)×(Total number of uses)Expected number of odd outcomes =53×400
Perform expected outcome calculation: Perform the calculation to find the expected number of odd outcomes.Expected number of odd outcomes = (53)×400=3×80=240
Determine best prediction: Determine the best prediction based on the expected number of odd outcomes.The best prediction for the number of times Leo will get an odd number is close to 240 times, but due to the nature of randomness, it is unlikely to be exactly 240 times.
