Question

Each group of students receives a bag that has 9 red cubes, 5 green cubes, and 11 blue cubes. If each group makes 1000 pulls and replaces the cube after each pull, how many times would you expect them to draw a blue cube?

Answer 1

440 times

Explanation:

First you need to find the total number of cubes each student recieves (25)

Now you put it into a ratio 11 : 25

After that make another ratio with 1000 and solve for x

x : 1000

25x = 11000

x = 440

Answer 2

440 blues

Explanation:

9 red cubes, 5 green cubes, and 11 blue cubes = 25 cubes total

P( blue) = 11/25

To find out how many blue cubes are expected, take the probability and multiply by the number of draws

11/25 * 1000 draws

440 blues
