Question

A bag contains eight counters that are red, blue or yellow. A counter is selected from the bag, its colour noted and the counter replaced. If 100 counters were selected and 14 were red, 37 were blue and 49 were yellow, how many counters of each colour are likely to be in the bag?

Answer 1

14% are red, 37% blue, 49% yellow in our samples.
so of 8 approximately:
1.12 red
2.96 blue
3.92 yellow
luckily 1 + 3 + 4 = 8
