Explanation
The expected number of visitors is calculated by multiplying the number of visitors expected
by the chance of each type of weather, and adding them up.
The expected number of visitors for each venue is calculated as follows:
Venue A: (30×0.5) + (15×0.3) + (10×0.2) = 21.5
Venue B: (20×0.5) + (30×0.3) + (5×0.2) = 20
Venue C: (15×0.5) + (20×0.3) + (15×0.2) = 16.5
Venue D: (25×0.5) + (15×0.3) + (10×0.2) = 19
Therefore, Venue A can be expected to draw the most number of visitors.
