Jar and Marbles Consider an experiment of choosing a marble from a jar containing 5 red, 2 yellow, and 8 white marbles. Simulate the experiment using a random number function on your calculator, considering a selection to be a red marble (R) P(W) L Number of times W occurred 10 P(R) L Number of times R occurred 10 P(T) L Number of times T occurred 20 P(H) L Number of times H occurred 20 if the result is less than or equal to 0.33, a yellow marble (Y) if the result is between 0.33 and 0.47, and a white marble (W) if the result is greater than or equal to 0.47. [Note: Most calculators repeat the action of the last entry if you simply press the ENTER, or EXE, key again.] Repeat the experiment 10 times. Using these 10 outcomes of the experiment, you can estimate the probabilities P(R), P(Y), and P(W) by the ratios What are the actual probabilities? How close are the results of the experiment to the actual values?
