Question

Megan has a bag containing 5 pink marbles, 3 orange marbles, 6 green marbles, and 2 yellow marbles.

Megan started to develop a probability model. Here is the sample space.
S = {P, P, P, P, P, O, O, O, G, G, G, G, G, G, Y, Y}

Part A
put in order where it would go on the table 2/16, 3/16, 5/16, 6/16
Help Megan complete the model by assigning probabilities to the four listed events. Drag each fraction to the correct probability.

Part B
Suppose Megan drew a marble 80 times. Estimate how many times she should expect to draw an orange marble. Megan would draw an orange marble ____
times.

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find the probability

Total marbles = 5 + 3 + 6 + 2 = 16

P pink = 5/ 16

P orange = 3/16

P green = 6/ 16 = 3/8

P yellow = 2/16 = 1/8

Part B when we divide 80 by 16 = 5

So she drew every marble 5 times

So 3 x 5 = 15

She drew the orange marble 15 times
