A container of beads contains: 8 red beads, 6 yellow beads, and 6 green beads. A bead will be drawn from the basket and replaced 60 times. What is the reasonable prediction for the number of times the green or red bead is drawn? PLEASE ANSWER AS SOON AS YOU CAN.

Answer:

Because of probability, a green or red bead would be drawn 14/20 times because there are 20 total beads and adding together the numbers for green and red. From this, if you multiply by 3/3 you can see that 42/60 times it will be a green bead. A reasonable prediction for green beads would then be 42 times. Hope it helps :D
