In our lab class we develop a hypothesis about the distribution of colors in our sample of marbles.

Yes, I was able to address my hypothesis with the data collected. My hypothesis was supported by the
data.

a. From 58 total green marbles are 10

For 1 marble = 10/58

So if the total number of marble is 10,000

Then the green marble are

= (10*10000)/58

= 1724.14

=1725 9approximately)

So based on my sample I can predict that the big container has approximately 1725 green marbles.

b. If the total average is 58.75, the average of orange marble 9.5

For 1 marble 9.5/58.75

Then for 10000 marbles, orange marbles are

=(9.5*10000)/58.75

= 1617.02

=1618 (approximately)

So based on my sample I can predict that the big container has approximately 1618 orange marbles.

Given,

Sample – 1000 litres of water from Buriganga River

Volume of Buriganga River – 470000000 cubic meters

“marbles represents fishes”

Calculations

Our sample contains 1000 litres of water

Buriganga River contains 470000000 cubic meters of water

Our sample contains 7 red marbles

We know,

1000 litre = 1 cubic meter

Therefore,

In 1 cubic meter of water there are 7 red fishes

In 470000000 cubic meter of water (7*470000000) red fishes

= 3290000000 red fishes

Ans: based on my sampling we expect to find 3290000000 red fishes in the whole haka
