[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Based on the assumption that all marbles are identical and there are only red, yellow, green, blue, and white marbles in the bag, the probability of picking a green marble in each trial is 1/5 or 0.2.

With 50 trials, Mr. Lim can expect to pick an average of 50 * 0.2 = 10 green marbles.

Therefore, Mr. Lim can expect to pick approximately 10 green marbles from the bag in 50 trials.
