    Eric should order 9 boxes of programs.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

    Probability of buying a program for the game = 1/2

    Number of people at the game = 900

    Number of programs per box = 50

    2. How many boxes of programs should Eric order?

    Let's calculate the answer this way:

    Number of programs required for the next football game = Probability of buying a program for the game * Number of people at the game

    Replacing with the values given, we have:

    Number of programs required for the next football game = 1/2 * 900

    Number of programs required for the next football game = 450

    Now, we can calculate he number of boxes, this way:

    Number of boxes of programs Eric should order = Number of programs required for the next football game / Number of programs per box

    Replacing with the values given, we have:

    Number of boxes of programs Eric should order = 450/50

    Number of boxes of programs Eric should order = 9
