~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This problem is on hypergeometric distribution. The parameters are
N = 200 pages (total);
n = 24 is the sample size, and
k = 35 is the number of pages of special interest (total).
The Math expectation for the number of pages in a sample that advertise footwear on them is
E = = = = 4.2, or 4, when rounded to the nearest whole number. ANSWER
Solved.
