Points: 3
Type the correct response in the blank fields to complete the question.
Brianna has a bag of marbles that are all the same size. Of all the marbles in the bag, there are 6 red, 7 white, 3 black, and 4 green marbles.



Ryan asks 80 people to chose a marble, note the color, and replace the marble in Brianna's bag. The results of the random marble selections in this experiment are: 34 red, 18 white, 9 black, and 19 green marbles. How does the theoretical probability compare with the experimental probability of drawing a white marble?





The theoretical probability of drawing a white marble is

Answer 1

The theoretical probability is 7/20 = 0.35 = 35% (which is greater than the experimental probability 18/80 = 9/40 = 22.5%).
