Q. You select a marble without looking and then put it back. If you do this 1010 times, what is the best prediction possible for the number of times you will pick a green marble?\newline\newline____\_\_\_\_ times
  1. Determine Total Marbles: Step 11: Determine the total number of marbles and the number of green marbles. Assume there are 2020 marbles in total, with 55 being green.
  2. Calculate Probability: Step 22: Calculate the probability of picking a green marble. Probability PP = Number of green marbles / Total number of marbles = 520\frac{5}{20} = 14\frac{1}{4}.
  3. Predict Green Marbles: Step 33: Predict the number of times you will pick a green marble in 1010 tries. Expected number =Probability of green marble×Number of tries=14×10=2.5= \text{Probability of green marble} \times \text{Number of tries} = \frac{1}{4} \times 10 = 2.5. Since you can't pick half a marble, round to 33.
