A.
The experimental probability will likely decrease.

B.
The experimental probability will likely increase.

C.
The experimental probability will likely stay about the same.

Do you have a picture of the table?

b it will increase

IF THERE IS AT LEAST ONE BLUE MARBLE

anonymous · Answer

Even without seeing the table, if the drawing is truly random, the experimental probability of getting a blue marble should stay relatively constant until you run out of them.

anonymous · Answer

C because a blue marble could be drawn.  Now, if no blue marbles are drawn, then it's B.

But we don't have the table. What if the table dictated that there were 3 draws only, and all of them were blue? Certainly, we would expect that probability to decrease in the long run, if the draws are truly random.
