Q. Of the last 1818 trains to pull into Castroville Station, 1212 were full. Considering this data, how many of the next 1212 trains would you expect to be full?\newline\newline____ trains\newline
  1. Calculate Total Full Trains: Step 11: Calculate the total number of trains that were full out of the last 1818 trains.\newline1212 trains were full out of 1818.
  2. Determine Probability of Full Train: Step 22: Determine the probability that a train is full. Probability PP of a train being full == Number of full trains // Total number of trains == 1218\frac{12}{18} == 23\frac{2}{3}.
  3. Calculate Expected Full Trains: Step 33: Calculate the expected number of full trains among the next 1212 trains.\newlineExpected number of full trains $= \text{Probability of a train being full} \times \text{Number of upcoming trains} = \left(\frac{\(2\)}{\(3\)}\right) \times \(12\) = \(8\).
