Question

There are 10 brown, 10 black, 10 green, and 10 gold marbles in bag. A student pulled a marble, recorded the color, and placed the marble back in the bag. The table below lists the frequency of each color pulled during the experiment after 40 trials.

Outcome Frequency
Brown 13
Black 9
Green 7
Gold 11


Compare the theoretical probability and experimental probability of pulling a gold marble from the bag.
The theoretical probability, P(gold), is 25%, and the experimental probability is 27.5%.
The theoretical probability, P(gold), is 50%, and the experimental probability is 11.5%.
The theoretical probability, P(gold), is 25%, and the experimental probability is 25%.
The theoretical probability, P(gold), is 50%, and the experimental probability is 13.0%.

Answer 1

Answer: A

Explanation:

there are 4 colours all with 1/4 of the marbles in the bag there colour

so the theoretical probability is 25% but slightly more than a quarter came out so experimental cant be 50 or 25 but 25.7%
