Therefore, a likely experiment would be Ji-woo has a bag of 10 balls, 4 of them red, 2 of them green, and the rest blue. She plans to draw a ball from the 10 each day of the month of September, which has 30 days. About how many days in September should she theoretically expect to draw: (1) a red ball? _____ (2) a green ball? _____ (3) a blue ball? _____ She decided this could be the experiment because she would know P(red)=4/10=2/5, P(green)=2/10=1/5, So P(blue)=1-2/5-1/5=2/5. And her theoretical expectation for the number of days in September she would draw each color would be the 30 days multiplied by the probability of each color, or (1) E(red) = (30)(2/5) = 12 red balls (2) E(green) = (30)(1/5) = 6 green balls (3) E(blue) = (30)(2/5) = 12 blue balls Remark: Since 12 is twice 6, then if she decided to continue the experiment for many days, she should expect to have gotten about the same total number of red balls as the total number of blue balls, and about half as many for the total number of blue balls.
