What is pˆ, the sample proportion of blue marbles?

Enter your answer, as a simplified fraction, in the box.

Proportion of blue marbles in in sample = 9/40

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of blue marbles in a jar is given by 25%

Lets find the probability of blue marble in the jar of the given sample:

Proportion of blue marbles in in sample = Total number of blue marbles in sample / Total number of marbles in sample

Where

Total number of blue marbles in sample = 9

Total number of marbles in sample = 9 + 15 + 16

Total number of marbles in sample = 40

SO

Proportion of blue marbles in in sample = 9/40

or

Proportion of blue marbles in in sample = 9/40
