Jake has a bag of 50 beads, some of which are blue and the remaining are green. Jake randomly pulls out a bead from the bag, records the color, and replaces it in the bag. Jake has already recorded 14 blue and 6 green beads. Based on these results, what is most likely the number of blue beads in the bag?


{A} 15

{B} 20

{C} 30

{D} 35

The most likely the number of blue beads in the bag is 35.

Given,

Total bags of bead Jake has is 50.

Since Jake randomly pulls out a bead from the bag, records the color, and replaces it in the bag.

So, Jack recorded total 20 beads, 14 blue and 6 green.

Probability:

The probability of blue beads in 20 beads will be,

\(P(Blue)=\dfrac{14}{20}\)

\(P(blue)=0.7\).

Now, the number of total blue beads in the bag will be,

\(P(blue)=\dfrac{blue\ beads \ in \ whole \ bag }{Total\ beads}\)

\(0.7=\dfrac{blue\ beads \ in \ whole \ bag }{50}\)

\({blue\ beads \ in \ whole \ bag }=0.7\times 50\)\({blue\ beads \ in \ whole \ bag }=35\\\)

Hence the correct option is (D). 35
