A bag contains a total of 300 purple and yellow beads. Without looking, a student chooses a

bead, records the color and places it back in the

bag. The student records 9 purple beads and 16

yellow beads. What is the best prediction of the

total number of yellow beads in the bag?

The best prediction of the total number of yellow beads in the bag is 192.

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question using proportions, by a rule of three.

We have that:

In the bead, there are 16 yellow beads out of 9 + 16 = 25. So how many are expected to be out of 300.

16 yellow - 25 beads

x yellow - 300 beads

Applying cross multiplication:

The best prediction of the total number of yellow beads in the bag is 192.
