### LED Lifespan Expectation Calculation

**Problem Statement:**

Suppose that a small company purchases 300 of these 75-watt LEDs with a guarantee that 97% of them will last for more than 25,000 hours. Assuming the guarantee is correct, what is the expected number of them that will last for more than 25,000 hours?

#### Options:

- 270
- 288
- 291
- 280

#### Solution:

To calculate the expected number of LEDs that will last more than 25,000 hours, you can simply compute 97% of 300.

\[
\text{Expected Number} = 300 \times 0.97 = 291
\]

Therefore, the correct answer is **291**.
