The table shows the results of randomly selecting a colored cube from a bag 80 times. The cube was returned to the bag after each selection. Blue Orange Purple Red Yellow Number of Times Selected 14 8 16 24 18 Based on these results, what is the expected probability of randomly selecting a red cube from the bag in one attempt?
The expected probability of randomly selecting a red cube from the bag in one attempt can be calculated by dividing the number of times a red cube was selected by the total number of times a cube was selected.
Number of times Red cube was selected = 24
Total number of times a cube was selected = 80
Probability = Number of times Red cube was selected / Total number of times a cube was selected
Probability = 24 / 80
Probability = 0.3
Therefore, the expected probability of randomly selecting a red cube from the bag in one attempt is 0.3.
wrong
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. To find the expected probability of randomly selecting a red cube from the bag in one attempt, we need to consider the total number of cubes in the bag.
From the table, we see that there are a total of 80 selections made, and out of those, 24 selections were red cubes.
Expected probability = Number of red cubes selected / Total number of selections
Expected probability = 24 / 80
Expected probability = 0.3
Therefore, the expected probability of randomly selecting a red cube from the bag in one attempt is 0.3 or 30%.
