Respuesta :

b.200, it's b because i say so:)

Answer:

The best prediction of the number of players in the league that have two or more siblings is 200.

Step-by-step explanation:

On a soccer team, 5 out of 13 players surveyed said they had two or more siblings.

Let A be the event that the randomly selected player has two or more siblings.

So, [tex]P(A)=\dfrac{5}{13}[/tex]

The expected value is the sum of product of each of the possible outcomes and the probability of the outcome occurring. Mathematically,

[tex]E(X) =\sum x\cdot P(X = x)[/tex]

So, here the number of players in the league that have two or more siblings will be,

[tex]E(X) =520\times \dfrac{5}{13}=200[/tex]
