Avery randomly selects 50 colored pencils from a basket and find that too are not sharpened if the basket contains 300 colored pencils, how many would you expect to be un sharpened
If Avery randomly selected 50 colored pencils from a basket containing 300 colored pencils and found that 20 were not sharpened, we can calculate the proportion of unsharpened colored pencils in the sample.
Proportion of unsharpened colored pencils = 20/50 = 0.4
Now, we can use this proportion to estimate the number of unsharpened colored pencils in the entire basket.
Number of unsharpened colored pencils in the entire basket = 0.4 * 300 = 120
Therefore, I would expect around 120 colored pencils out of the 300 in the basket to be unsharpened.
