Staci works at an apple orchard during the fall. On average, 70% of the apples sold are green and 30% are red. Use the following random number table to predict the probability that the next three apples sold will be green. Let the digits 0-6 represent a green apple and the digits 7-9 represent a red apple. a. Based on your experiment, what is the probability that the next 3 apples sold will be green? Random numbers 91037 84668 56950 17392 b. How many trials did you perform? What will most likely happen if you perform more trials?

I apologize but I'm not sure as to what the answer is and I don't want to mislead you with potential false information... @jabez177 might be able to help you though

The probability of an apple being green is like flipping a coin. But rather than 50/50 we have 70/30 with 70% chance of it being green and 30% it being red. We assume independence from one apple draw to the next. So probability of three greens in a row is just $$0.7\times 0.7\times 0.7$$ Does this make sense?

14. anonymous

Yeah, but can you elaborate a little more for more clarity please?

Using the random data we have, assuming 0-6 = green and 7-9 = red The ratio of green to total is 91037 rgggr = 3/5 84668 rgggr = 3/5 56950 ggrgg = 4/5 17392 grgrg = 3/5 So the probability of green from experiment is about $$\cfrac{3+3+4+3}{5+5+5+5}=\cfrac{13}{20}=0.65$$ This is pretty close to 0.7. As you do more experiments, we'd expect a number closer to 0.70. Does this make sense?
