A bin contains yellow and black balls. A ball is selected at random and then placed back in the bin. The results are recorded after 10 trials, 50 trials, and 150 trials. The results are recorded in the table.

Based on the table, how many times can you expect that a yellow ball will be selected in 300 tries?



Outcome Number of trials
10 50 150
Yellow 9 32 135
Black 1 18 15



Answer :

Relative Frequency is how often something happened divided by the number of situations when it could have happened (trials). So in our examples we divide the numer of outcomes by trials:

first question is C: 30% (12/40=0,3)

The second question is 20% (10/50)

 The third one is 16.66666,  that's 17 % (14/84)

In the forth one, the purple crayons form 14/(14+42)=14/56=2/8=1/4, that's 25 %
So the purple crayons are 25 % of the total. SO in 140 trials, they should be pulled out 140*25%=140*1/4=35 times.

In the last one: after 10 trials it seemed that yellow balls were 90%. After 50 (which is a better measure yello balls seem to be 32/50=64%. After 150 trials it was 90 % again/.

I think this makes it likely that in 300 trials the balls will be taken 90% of times, that is 270 times.
A. 30%
B. 20%
