A music downloading website reports that nearly 5 out of 7 songs are pop music. According to this information, how many of the next 500 songs are pop music?. (Round it to the nearest whole number.)

Based on the given information, we know that the probability of a song being pop music is 5/7. This can be written as a fraction, decimal or percentage: - Fraction: 5/7 - Decimal: 0.714... (repeating) - Percentage: 71.4...% (rounded to one decimal place) To find out how many of the next 500 songs are likely to be pop music, we can use the following formula: Number of pop songs = probability of pop music x total number of songs Substituting in the values we have: Number of pop songs = 0.714 x 500 Number of pop songs = 357 Rounding to the nearest whole number, we can say that \approx imately 357 of the next 500 songs are likely to be pop music.
