Question

A bag of paper clips contains:

. 9 pink paper clips
• 7 yellow paper clips
• 5 green paper clips
• 4 blue paper clips
A random paper clip is drawn from the bag and replaced 50 times. What is a
reasonable prediction for the number of times a yellow paper clip will be
drawn?

Answer 1

14 times
Step-by-step explanation: add all colors
up for total which is 25
since 7 out of the 25 total paper clips are
yellow you would have a 7/25 chance of
getting yellow after 1 pick.
since you pick and replace 50 times do
(7/25) × 50 which gives you 14 times
yellow will be drawn.
