Question

A bag contains 2

2
blue marbles, 2
2
red marbles, and 2
2
yellow marbles.

If Jenna randomly draws a marble from the bag (and puts it back) 15
15
times, how many times should she expect to pull a yellow marble?

Answer 1

5 times

Explanation:

Jenna wil most likely pull a yellow marble 1/3 of the time, because the total number of marbles is 6, and there are 2 yellow marbles, 2/6 which is 1/3. 1/3 times 15 is 5. So Jenna will most likely pull a yellow marble 5 times.
