    D

    Step-by-step explanation:

    There are 5 coolers in total, so if you divide 50 by 5 you get 10. Then, since there are 3 cooloers of popsicles, you multiply 10 by 3 and you get 30. There is always a chance of getting something else, so it will be close to 30 but not exactly.

    D. There will be close to 30 football players who get a popsicle but not exactly 30 who get a popsicle.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    There are a total of 3 coolers of popsicles and 2 coolers of ice cream sandwiches.

    This means that the probability of getting a popsicles for a student is:3/5

    Similarly the probability of getting a popsicles among 50 students is:

    (3/5) * 50

    =30

    As we know that the probability is just a estimation or possibility of an outcome. It does not provide us the exact number.

    Hence, Option: D is the correct answer.
