The probability of pulling a green marble out of a bag of colored marbles is 2:5. If you were to pull colored marbles out of the bag one at a time, and putting the marble back each time for 600 tries, approximately how many time would you select a green marble?? ( explanation too) 7th grade Math

Answer:

We would approximately pick a green marble 240 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given from the question the probability of pulling a green marble out of a bag of colored marbles is 2:5

Let us denote the number of trials as X

Now the approximately number of times a green marble can be selected would be

=2/5 times

From the question we are given 600 trials

which implies our x=600

Therefore, the number of times we would pick a green marble is:

2/5 × 600 times

≈ 240 times

Therefore, we would approximately pick a green marble 240 times
