A piggy bank contains 100 pennies, 100 dimes, 100 nickels, and 100 quarters—all mixed together. Which situation shows the appropriate use of the law of large numbers? David draws a coin from the bank 499 times with replacement. Since he got 124 nickels, he predicts he will get a nickel on his next draw. Shawna draws a coin from the bank 160 times with replacement. She predicts getting a quarter about 40 times. Julie draws a coin from the bank 200 times without replacement. She predicts getting about 50 dimes. Enzo draws a coin from the bank 600 times with replacemen

any ideas?

OpenStudy (ayonnaleflore):

none .... im completely lost

OpenStudy (shadowcain):

use ratio, then reduce

OpenStudy (shadowcain):

you know you have 400 coins in all, so ?:400

OpenStudy (shadowcain):

100:400 pennies 100:400 nickels 100:400 dimes 100:400 quaters

OpenStudy (shadowcain):

reduced would be 1: 4 pennies 1: 4 nickels 1: 4 dimes 1: 4 quaters

OpenStudy (mysticfury):

so they all have 1/4 chance of getting each of them liek @ShadowCain said

OpenStudy (mysticfury):
