Answer: A.4/25

Explanation:

Number of trials that were performed = 50

Number of times a blue balloon was chosen = 22

Number of times a yellow balloon was chosen = 7

Number of times an orange balloon was chosen = 8

Number of times a purple balloon was chosen = 13

The estimated probability of choosing an orange balloon from the bag will be the number of times that an orange balloon was chosen divided by the total number of trials. This will be:

= 8/50

= 4/25
