yellow or green marble will be drawn?
( a) 20
b) 30
c) 50
d) 40

Respuesta :

Answer:

c) 50

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 5 red marbles, 6 blue marbles, 3 green marbles, 4 black

marbles, 2 yellow marbles for a total of 20 marbles

P (yellow or green marble) = number of green or yellow marbles/ total      

                                             = 5/20 = 1/4

Take the probability times the number of draws to determine the number of times we would expect to see a green or yellow marble

1/4 * 200 = 50
