a. Find the theoretical probability of selecting a pink rubber band.
b. Find the theoretical probability of selecting a brown rubber band.
c. You repeatedly choose a rubber band from the box, record the color, and put the rubber band back in the box. The results are shown in the table below. Find the experimental probability of each color based on the table.

Answer 1

a. 95/185
