Chris has a bucket with paper clips. It has 9 green paper clips and 21 orange paper clips. Chris randomly draws a paper clip, records the color, and returns the paper clip to the bucket. After doing 10 experiments, he found that he drew an orange paper clip 70% of the time. What kind of comparison can be made?

The percentage is likely to decrease with more trials. Or, the percentage is likely to remain the same with more lanes. Or the percentage will likely increase with more experiences.

likely remain the same

Step-by-step explanation:

as their ratio from green to orange paper clips is 9:21 meaning it is very likely to draw a orange. If calculated 9/30 is 30 percent meaning there is a 30 percent chance of drawing green. We can conclude there is a 70 percent chance of drawing green mathematically
