The experimental probability closest to the theoretical probability of being selected is the color red.
- The experimental probability closest to the theoretical probability of being selected is the color red.
- To determine this, we need to compare the experimental probability and the theoretical probability for each color.
- The theoretical probability of selecting a red marble is 5/25, which simplifies to 1/5.
- The experimental probability of selecting a red marble is 18/50, which does not simplify further.
- Therefore, the experimental probability closest to the theoretical probability of being selected is the color red.
Question:
In a bag of 25 marbles, 5 are red, 7 are blue, 10 are green, and 3 are yellow. The results of a marble being randomly selected and replaced 50 times are shown in the table. For which color is the experimental probability closest to the theoretical probability of being selected?
Color Frequency
Red 18
Blue 10
Green 15
Yellow 7
