Each field trip boxed lunch for Mrs. Patel’s class will come with one of five different pieces of fruit: apple, banana, grapes, orange, or peach. Using the line of the random number table shown to do a simulation and assigning 2 or 3 for banana, what is the probability a boxed lunch will have a banana?

A.
16%

B.
18%

C.
20%

D.
28%

D.  28%

Step-by-step explanation:

The line of the random number table = total of ten 5-digit random numbers = 50 digits.The digits 2 and 3 represent the fruit banana.Count the number of 2 and 3 in the ten random numbers from the line of the random number table82244, 34392, 96607, 17220, 51984, 10753, 76272, 50985, 97593, 34320Total no of banana fruits = 14.So, the probability a boxed lunch will have a banana = 14 / 50 = 0.28 = 28%

The answer should be 5.
