Question

Thirty-six of the staff of 80 teachers at a local intermediate school are certified in Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). In 180 days of school, about how many days can we expect that the teacher on bus duty will likely be certified in CPR?

Answer 1

Answer:

In about 81 days we can expect that the teacher on bus duty will likely be certified in CPR

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of a teacher being certified in Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR).

36 of 80

So

$p = \frac{36}{80} = 0.45$

In 180 days of school, about how many days can we expect that the teacher on bus duty will likely be certified in CPR?

45% of the days

0.45*180 = 81

In about 81 days we can expect that the teacher on bus duty will likely be certified in CPR
