Question

Simran has a bag containing white and yellow marbles. Simran randomly selects one marble from the bag,

records the result, and returns the marble to the bag. The results of the first 65 selections are shown below.

A white marble was selected 41 times.

A yellow marble was selected 24 times.

Based on these results, what is the probability that the next marble Simran selects, rounded to the nearest

Answer 1

d. 63%

Explanation:

percent, will be white?

A41% b50% c59% d63%

The probability of white = P (w) = 41/65= 0.63

The probability of yellow = P (y)= 24/65= 0.369=0.37

The probability of choosing white is 0.63 . When rounded to nearest percent gives

0.63*100/100

=0.63*100 percent

= 63 percent

= 63%

the probability of getting the next marble white is the same as the probability of getting a white.
