8. A bag contains 6 red and 10 black marbles. If you pick a marble, record its color, and

return it to the bag 200 times, how many times can you expect to pick a black marble?

Answer:

125 times

Explanation:

6+10= 16 total marbles

10/16= 0.625= 62.5% of the time it will be black

0.625 x 200 = 125 times
