Question

Mary pulls out a bead from a bag containing white, red, and yellow beads. She records the color and places it back into the bag. The table below shows the frequency of each color after 100 beads are pulled out.

How many white draws can you expect if the beads are pulled out 1,000 times?
270
350
390
926

Answer 1

what is the scale difference between 1000 and 100?

aka
1000 / 100 = ?

Answer 2

10

Answer 3

then the experimental probability of the bead should also be scaled by that amount :)

[multiply the given probability number by 10]

Answer 4

you mean the total number of beads?

Answer 5

mmm not total this time :)
because they are just asking about the white beads

Answer 6

oh ok

Answer 7

so 27 * 10 = answer ;)

Answer 8

it's 270

Answer 9

correct :)

Answer 10

Ok thanks!
