Imagine you have a bag containing 10 marbles of different colors. You have drawn a marble, recorded to its color and replaced it fifty times, with the following results: 9 purple, 16 orange, 6 yellow, and 19 green marbles. Make a prediction of how many marbles are in each bag

Answer:

Based on this experiment, we can predict that there are more green marbles in the bag than any other color, since they were drawn the most frequently. We can also predict that there are less yellow marbles in the bag, since they were drawn the least frequently. However, since we only drew marbles a limited number of times, we cannot be certain of the exact number of each color in the bag. The predictions we can make are based on probability and can only be used as an estimate.

I hope this helps!
