Answer:

18 times

Explanation:

If there are 7 blue marbles and 3 purple marbles, the probability of selecting a blue marble is 7/10, and the probability of selecting a purple marble is 3/10.

Since you're selecting marbles without replacement, the probability will change with each pick. To calculate the best prediction for the number of times you will pick a blue or purple marble, we can multiply the probabilities by the number of picks.

Expected number of blue marbles picked: (7/10) * 60 = 42

Expected number of purple marbles picked: (3/10) * 60 = 18

Therefore, the best prediction is that you will pick a blue marble approximately 42 times and a purple marble approximately 18 times when selecting marbles without looking 60 times.

Based on the given information, where there are 7 blue marbles and 3 purple marbles, and assuming the selection process is random and each marble has an equal chance of being selected, the best prediction for the number of times you will pick a blue or a purple marble can be calculated as follows:

Out of the 60 selections, we can expect to pick a blue marble approximately 7/10 times (since there are 7 blue marbles out of a total of 10 marbles). Therefore, the best prediction for the number of times you will pick a blue marble is around 60 * (7/10) = 42 times.

Similarly, we can expect to pick a purple marble approximately 3/10 times (since there are 3 purple marbles out of a total of 10 marbles). Therefore, the best prediction for the number of times you will pick a purple marble is around 60 * (3/10) = 18 times.

Hence, the best prediction is that you will pick a blue marble around 42 times and a purple marble around 18 times out of the 60 selections.
