A bag contains 40 marbles, 4 of which are blue, 10 are red, 25 are green, and 1 is purple. Shawna takes a marble out of the bag, records the color, and returns it to the bag. How many green marbles should she expect after 400 trials? 25 40 100 250
Answer: The number of green marbles should expect after 400 trials = 250
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The total number of marbles in the bag = 40
The number of green marbles in the bag = 25
The probability or chances for choosing green marble =\(\frac{25}{40}=\frac{5}{8}\)
In 400 trials , the number of green marbles should expect =\(\frac{5}{8}\times400=250\)
Hence, the number of green marbles should expect after 400 trials = 250
