Rita is making a beaded bracelet. She has a collection of 160 blue beads, 80 gray beads, and 240 pink beads. What is the estimated probability that Rita will need to pick at least five beads before she picks a gray bead from her collection? Use the table of randomly generated outcomes to answer the question. Each letter represents the first letter of the bead color.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Rita is making a beaded bracelet. She has a collection of 160 blue beads, 80 gray beads, and 240 pink beads. We are to calculate the probability that Rita will need to pick atleast 5 beads before she picks a grey bead from her collection.

Prob for drawing atleast 5 beads before she picks a grey bead from her collection

= 1-Prob for drawing atleast one grey beed in the first 5 draws.

(Because these two are complementary events)

no of grey beeds drawn in first 5 trials is

Bi=(5,1/6)

Prob for drawing atleast one grey beed in the first 5 draws.

=1-Prob of no grey

Hence required prob=P(X=0 in first 5 draws)

= 0.4018

6th beeds onwards can be grey also.

Nearest answer is c)0.45
