The table shows the results of r a n d o m l y selecting a color cue from a bag 80 time to kill the crew was returned to the back after each selection number or time selected blue 14 orange 8 purple 18 red 24 yellow 18 based on these results what is the expected probability of r a n d o m i l y selecting the red cue from the bag and one attempt 80.24 b 0.20 c 0.04 d0.30
To find the expected probability of randomly selecting the red cue from the bag in one attempt, we need to calculate the proportion of red cues in the total number of cues selected.
The total number of cues drawn is 80, and the number of red cues drawn is 24.
Therefore, the probability of randomly selecting the red cue in one attempt is:
Probability of red cue = Number of red cues / Total number of cues drawn
= 24 / 80
= 0.30
So, the expected probability of randomly selecting the red cue from the bag in one attempt is 0.30 or d) 0.30.
You sure
I apologize for the mistake in my calculation.
To find the probability of randomly selecting the red cue from the bag in one attempt, we need to consider the total number of colors and the frequency of the red color.
Total frequency of all colors: 14 (blue) + 8 (orange) + 18 (purple) + 24 (red) + 18 (yellow) = 82
Frequency of red color: 24
Therefore, the probability of randomly selecting the red cue in one attempt is:
Probability of red cue = Frequency of red / Total frequency
= 24 / 82
≈ 0.2927
So, the expected probability of randomly selecting the red cue from the bag in one attempt is approximately 0.2927, which is closest to 0.30.
Therefore, the correct answer is d) 0.30.
