Question

A box contains 100 colored chips; some are violet and some are red. Wilson chooses a chip at random, records the color, and places it back in the bag. Wilson has recorded 9 violet chips and 16 red chips. Using these results, what is the predicted number of violet chips in the box?
11

25

36

75

Answer 1

36 because 9+16= 25, which is a 1/4 of 100. You would then take 9*4 to get the correct answer. 

Answer 2

I would estimate 36 violet chips
