You select a marble without looking and then put it back. If you do this 36 times, what is the best prediction possible for the number of times you will pick a blue marble?

Answer:
12 times
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 3 blue marbles and 9 marbles total. The probability of selecting a blue marble is 3/9, reduced it is 1/3.
Multiply the probability by 36
[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{36}{1}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{36}{3}[/tex]
12
