Question

Kaitlyn has 7 white chips, 5 red chips, and 8 blue chips in a bag.
Without looking, Kaitlyn pulls a chip out, records the color, and puts it
back in the bag.
• She does this 200 times.
About how many times could Kaitlyn expect to pull out a blue chip?

Answer 1

80 times could Kaitlyn expect to pull out a blue chip.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The total number of chips in the bag = 7 white+5 red+ 8 blue = 20 chips.
• Probability (blue chip) = number of blue chips / total chips

P(blue) = 8/20

She does this 200 times.

P(blue) for 200 times = (8/20)$\times$200 = 80.
