Answer:
120
Step-by-step explanation:
Blue marbles = 2
Red marbles = 3
Total marbles = 2 + 3 = 5
If a marble is drawn 300 times ;prediction for the number of times a blue marble will be drawn :
P(drawing a blue marble) = number of blue marbles / total number of marbles
= 2 /5 = 0.4
Predicted number of times blue is drawn in 300 selections :
300 * 0.4 = 120
Approximately 120 times
So to do this, you would use the formula:
Number of favorable outcomes
________________________
Total number of outcomes.
In the first question you are asked: Probability of an even number being spun. We can see that there are 4 even numbers, which is our favorable outcome and that over the number of outcomes, which is 8, would be 4/8 = 0.5 or 50%. Therefore the answer to #1 is 0.5 as a decimal or 50% as a percent. (Do it the way the directions tell you to).
In the second question you are asked the probability to spin a number greater than 3. This does not include 3, so you have 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. That is 5 numbers. 5 numbers divided by the total number of outcomes is 5/8, which is equal to 0.625, or 62.5%. Therefore the answer to #2 is 0.625 as a decimal or 62.5% as a percent.
The third question asks for the probability that an odd number would be spun. We can see the odd numbers are: 1,3,5,7. This is 4 favorable outcomes divided by 8, the total number of outcomes. 4/8 is equal to 0.5 or 50%. Therefore the answer to #3 is 50% as a percent or 0.5 as decimal.

Here is an example:
3(4x +7)
2( 3 +5) =2( 3 ) = 2 ( 5 )
