Question

Each group of students receives a bag that has 8 red cubes, 2 green cubes, and 10 blue cubes. If each group makes 100 pulls and replaces the cube after each pull, how many times would you expect them to draw a blue cube?

Answer 1

50% of the time

Explanation:

8+2+10=20

20-10=10

10 is half of 20

Answer 2

50

Explanation:

First find the probability of drawing a blue

The total number of cubes

8 red cubes, 2 green cubes, and 10 blue cubes = 20 cubes

P(blue) = blue / total = 10/20 = 1/2

Since they are replaced, the probability remains the same

100 draws * P(blue) = 100 * 1/2 = 50
