Question

HELPPPP HURRYYYYYYY A bag contains 150 marbles which are red, green, and blue. Suppose a student randomly selects a marble without looking, records the color, and then places the marble back in the bag. The student has recorded 9 red marbles, 15 green marbles, and 6 blue marbles. Predict how many green marbles are in the bag.

Answer 1

Answer:

75 green marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given in the question, we can create a ratio representing all the marbles in the bag.

9 red:15 green:6 blue

We need to find the total number of times the student drew a marble by finding the sum

9+15+6= 30

The sample size is 30

150 is 5x the amount of 30, that means we need to multiply the given information by 5 to predict the number of green marbles

9x5=45

15x5=75

6x5=30

Now we have 45 red: 75 green: 30 blue

Based on the given information, we can predict that the bag contains 75 green marbles
