There are 4 yellow marbles, 3 red marbles, and 1 blue marble in a bag. If I were to draw a marble out of the bag 32 times, how many times would I get red?

The expected number of times a red marble will be selected is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of marbles in a bag are:

Yellow = 4

    Red = 3

   Blue = 1    

  Total = 8

Le the random variable X be defined as the number of red marble selected.

The probability of selecting a red marble is:

A marble is selected from the bag n = 32 times.

The color of the marble selected at the nth draw is independent of the previous draw.

The success is defined as selecting a red marble.

The random variable X thus follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 32 and p = .

The expected value of a Binomial random variable is:

Compute the expected number of times a red marble will be selected in 32 draws as follows:

Thus, the expected number of times a red marble will be selected is 12.

it would be 6xy and -16xy.
