plz give brainliest

Mekala will listen to close to 60 country songs but probably not exactly 60 country songs

The number of songs on the MP3 player are:

Techno = 4

Country = 2

Jazz = 3

The proportion (p) of songs that are country songs is:

p = Country/Total

So, we have:

[tex]p =\frac{2}{9}[/tex]

When he plays the song 270 times, the expected number of times country songs are played is:

[tex]E(x) =\frac{2}{9} * 270[/tex]

This gives

[tex]E(x) =60[/tex]

Hence, the best prediction is that:

Mekala will listen to close to 60 country songs but probably not exactly 60 country songs
