A high school has 438 students, with about the same number of males as females.Describe a simulation to predict how many of the first 50 students who leave the school at the end of the day are female.
Males=females
438 divide by 2 equals 219
50 divided by 2 equals 25
Answer: 25 females
Total number of students in the high school = 438
As its given, the number of males and females are almost same, so the number of males students are = \(\frac{438}{2}= 219\)
Its asked if the first 50 students leave the school. then how many are females, so it can be given as = \(\frac{50}{2}=25\)
So, the chances of the students being females are \(\frac{25}{50}\) or \(\frac{1}{2}\).
Hence, 25 females can leave the school out of 50 students.
