Probability, SM-Bank 048

Rachel has a bag that contains 6 blue and 4 green balls.

She selects one ball at random and records its colour. The ball is then put back into the bag.

Rachel does this 50 times.

How many times should Rachel expect to select a green ball from the bag?  (2 marks)

\(20\)

Show Worked Solution

\(P\text{(picking green)}=\dfrac{4}{10}=\dfrac{2}{5}\)

\(\therefore\ \text{Expected green balls}\) \(=\dfrac{2}{5}\times 50\)
  \(=20\)
