Question

A bag contains 40 marbles, 4 of which are blue, 10 are red, 25 are green, and 1 is purple. Shawna takes a marble out of the bag, records the color, and returns it to the bag. How many green marbles should she expect after 400 trials? (5 points)

Answer 1

250.

Since she returns the marble every time, the probability of drawing a green marble remains constant, which is 25/40.
