Answer 1

The number of times the New York appeared while pulling the quarter is =10.

The sample space is =25.

The probablity of pulling a New York quaredet is,

$\begin{gathered} P=\frac{10}{25} \\ =0.4 \end{gathered}$

The number of time Amber pulled New York Quarter can be estimated as,

$\begin{gathered} N=P\times300 \\ =0.4\times300 \\ =120 \end{gathered}$

Thus, option (C) is the correct solution.
