Solution

The probability of picking an apple is 0.3. To find out how many times Jenson picked an apple during the 40 trials, you multiply the total number of trials by the probability of picking an apple.

So, 0.3 (probability of picking an apple) * 40 (total trials) = 12

Therefore, Jenson picked an apple 12 times during the 40 trials. So, the correct answer is B. 12.
