A special deck of cards consists of 5 red cards, 20 blue cards, and 25 green cards. Svetlana selects 1 card from the special deck 500 times. How many times can she expect to draw a red card?

Answer:The answer is 50

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to add up the numbers in order to get the outcome

5 red + 20 blue + 25 green = 5+20+25 = 50

Step 2

Probability = no of events / no of outcome

We were asked to find the probability of red

Where red represent event

And the summation of red, green and blue represents outcome.

So probability of red = 5/50 = 1/10

Step 3

Recall in the question, we were told that the card was selected 500 times, so we multiply the probability of getting red by 500

1/10 * 500 = 50

Therefore the probability of drawing a red card from the special deck 500 times is 50.
