A jar contained 18 red marbles, 14 green marbles, and 20 blue marbles. A marble was selected at random, the color was recorded, and the marble was placed back in the jar. The table shows the results after 60 trials. What was the relative frequency of selecting a blue marble? Enter your answer in the box to the nearest percent.

The relative frequency of selecting a blue marble is 33%

What is relative frequency in probability?

"The relative frequency of an event is the number of times that the event occurs during experimental trials, divided by the total number of trials conducted."

The formula to calculate the relative frequency:

f(A) = n(A)/t

where n(A) = the number of times that the event occurs during experimental trials

t = number of trials

f(A) = relative frequency of an event

What is percent?

"It is a number or ratio that can be expressed as a fraction of 100."

For given example,

A jar contained 18 red marbles, 14 green marbles, and 20 blue marbles.

Let event A: selecting a blue marble

⇒ n(A) = 20

Here, the number of trials (t) = 60

So, the relative frequency of selecting a blue marble would be,

⇒ f(A) = n(A)/t

⇒ f(A) = 20/60

⇒ f(A) = 1/3

The relative frequency  to the nearest percent would be,

⇒ f(A) = (1/3 × 100)%

⇒ f(A) = 33.33%

⇒ f(A) ≈ 33%

Therefore, the relative frequency of selecting a blue marble is 33%
