Question

Grace and Jack are playing a game with a gigantic bucket of markers. Jack took a random sample of markers from the bucket and counted 12 yellow markers, 37 blue markers, and 1 red marker. Use the observed frequencies to create a probability model for the color of the next randomly selected marker from the gigantic bucket of markers. Input your answers as fractions or as decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Using the given frequencies, the probabilities for the next color chosen is:

• P(yellow) = 0.24.

• P(blue) = 0.74.

• P(red) = 0.02

What is a probability?

A probability is given by the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

There were 50 markers, of which 12 were yellow, 37 blue and 1 red, hence the probabilities for each are given as follows:

• P(yellow) = 12/50 = 0.24.

• P(blue) = 37/50 = 0.74.

• P(red) = 1/50 = 0.02
