Before a new video game is released, it is tested by a number of volunteer gamers. During testing, the experimental probability of completing a new game with a perfect score was found to be [tex]\frac{1}{500}[/tex].

If [tex]1,000,000[/tex] people buy and play the game when it is released, how many players will complete the game with a perfect score?

[tex]\square[/tex] people



Answer :

To determine the number of players who will complete the game with a perfect score, we can use the information about the probability and the total number of players. Let's break down the steps.

1. Identify the total number of players:
The total number of people who buy and play the game is [tex]\( 1,000,000 \)[/tex].

2. Determine the probability of achieving a perfect score:
The probability of a player completing the game with a perfect score is [tex]\( \frac{1}{500} \)[/tex].

3. Calculate the expected number of players with a perfect score:
To find this, multiply the total number of players by the probability of getting a perfect score:
[tex]\[ \text{Expected number of players with a perfect score} = \text{Total number of players} \times \text{Probability of perfect score} \][/tex]
Substituting the given values:
[tex]\[ \text{Expected number of players with a perfect score} = 1,000,000 \times \frac{1}{500} \][/tex]

4. Simplify the computation:
[tex]\[ 1,000,000 \times \frac{1}{500} = 1,000,000 \div 500 = 2,000 \][/tex]

So, the expected number of players who will complete the game with a perfect score is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{2000} \][/tex]
