Elizabeth has a hat filled with three colored beads green, purple, and pink. Elizabeth randomly pulls tiles out of the bag , records the color , and places the tile back into the bag. She repeats this 50 times and recorded the results in the table above. What is the experimental probability that Elizabeth will pull out a purple tile?
@iGreen
green 18 purple 26 pink 6
first you got add all the tiles up 18+26+6=50
@iGreen
dont you divide by 3 after you add them all up
no
Where's the table? @Marc1313
and since she pulled 50 tiles and the # of tiles oare fifty you wouldn`t even have to change the bottom # on the fraction. it would be purple tiles over / 50
green 16 purple 26 pink 6 @iGreen
it would be purple tiles over / 50
Okay, are you sure? Because that's only 48 times..
that is 50 times ?? @iGreen
no 18+26+6= 50
No..16 + 26 + 6 = 48 Check the table again..
Oh, you made a mistake..first you said 18 then you said 16..
oh sorry its 18 plus 26 plus 6
Yeah..so just write the number of purple tiles divided by the total number of tiles(50).
so 50
lol
the answer is 52%
Yep
you divide the 26/50
26/50 = 0.52 = 52%
yay!
