Q. You select a marble without looking and then put it back. If you do this 12 times, what is the best prediction possible for the number of times you will pick an orange marble?_____ times
Determine Total Marbles: Step 1: Determine the total number of marbles and the number of orange marbles. Assuming there are 20 marbles in total, with 5 being orange. Total marbles =20, Orange marbles =5.
Calculate Probability: Step 2: Calculate the probability of picking an orange marble.Probability (Picking orange marble) = Total number of marblesNumber of orange marbles=205=41.
Predict Number of Picks: Step 3: Use the probability to predict the number of times an orange marble will be picked in 12 trials.Expected number of times picking orange marble = Probability of orange marble × Number of trials = 41×12=3.
