Answer:

Because of probability, a green or red bead would be drawn 14/20 times because there are 20 total beads and adding together the numbers for green and red. From this, if you multiply by 3/3 you can see that 42/60 times it will be a green bead. A reasonable prediction for green beads would then be 42 times. Hope it helps :D
