Question

Sierra conducted an experiment. She drew a color tile from a bag, recorded the results, and return the tile to the bag. Out of 100 trials she randomly drew a blue tile 46 times, a red tile 38 times, and a green tile 16 times. What is the experimental probability of drawing a red tile?

Option 1: 4/25
Option 2: 23/50
Option 3: 19/50
Option 4: 16/100

Answer 1

So we know that there are 38 red tiles out of 100. You may think this is the answer (which it is) but one we have 38/100 we simplify the answer down to 19/50

Answer: Option 3: 19/50
