Q. You select a marble without looking and then put it back. If you do this 1212 times, what is the best prediction possible for the number of times you will pick an orange marble?\newline\newline_____ times
  1. Determine Total Marbles: Step 11: Determine the total number of marbles and the number of orange marbles. Assuming there are 2020 marbles in total, with 55 being orange. Total marbles =20= 20, Orange marbles =5= 5.
  2. Calculate Probability: Step 22: Calculate the probability of picking an orange marble.\newlineProbability (Picking orange marble) = Number of orange marblesTotal number of marbles=520=14\frac{\text{Number of orange marbles}}{\text{Total number of marbles}} = \frac{5}{20} = \frac{1}{4}.
  3. Predict Number of Picks: Step 33: Use the probability to predict the number of times an orange marble will be picked in 1212 trials.\newlineExpected number of times picking orange marble = Probability of orange marble ×\times Number of trials = 14×12=3\frac{1}{4} \times 12 = 3.
