Question

PLS HELP MEEE :(

The probability model based on experimental  probability for randomly selecting a marble  from a bag is P(green) = 18/40, P(blue) = 14/40, and  P(white) = 8/40. About how many marbles of each  color are in the bag if there are 60 total marbles? ​

Answer 1

P(green) = 27

P(blue) = 21

P(white) = 12

Explanation:

multiply the numbers so that the denominator is 60, multiply by 1.5/1.5:

18/40 * 1.5/1.5 = 27

14/40 * 1.5/1.5 = 21

8/40 * 1.5/1.5 = 12
