If two people are picked at random and replaced, what is the probability of picking two people that like cheese? Round your answer to a whole number. a 0% b 11% c 33% d 66% - answer-11% There was a marble drawn from a bag in an experiment and placed back in the bag repeatedly. A red marble appeared 45 times, a blue marble 70 times, a green marble 63 times, and a black marble 22 times. What is the empirical probability of the blue marble? a 0.11 b 0.225 c 0.315 d 0.35 - answer-0.35 In a bag, there are 8 red marbles, 10 blue marbles, 9 green marbles, and 5 black marbles. Find the theoretical probability of drawing a red marble out of the bag. a 5/32 b 1/4 c 9/32 d 5/16 - answer-1/4 What is the sample size for choosing an odd number between 1 and 75 , including the numbers 1 and 75 ? a 37 b 38 c 39 d 40 - answer-38 There are black, blue, and white marbles in a bag. The probability of choosing a black marble is 0.36 . The probability of choosing a black and then a white marble is 0.27 . To the nearest hundredth, what is the probability of the second marble being white if the first marble chosen is black? a 0.27 b 0.39 c 0.75
