Shannon has a bag of jellybeans. She has 15 green, 11 red, and 18 blue she removed one jellybean, recording the color, and then she replaced it. She repeated the process several times, and recorded her results in the table. What is the experimental probability of her selecting a red jellybean?
A. 18/26
B. 1/3
C. 11/44
D. 11/33
The total number of trials is not given, but we know that Shannon removed and replaced one jellybean several times. Therefore, we can assume that she performed a large number of trials, which means that the experimental probability of selecting a red jellybean will be close to the theoretical probability.
The theoretical probability of selecting a red jellybean is:
P(red) = number of red jellybeans / total number of jellybeans
P(red) = 11 / (15 + 11 + 18)
P(red) = 11 / 44
Therefore, the correct answer is C. 11/44.
