Question

Venessa has a piggy bank that contains a collection of nickels, pennies, dimes and quarters. She randomly draws a coin out of the piggy bank, records the result, and then replaces the coin. The results of her draws are shown below.

Coins Number of Draws
nickel 32
penny 54
dime 13
quarter 29

Based on the results above, predict the number of times a quarter would be drawn if Venessa draws a coin 256 times.
A. 54

B. 58

C. 60

D. 120

Answer 1

Answer:

58

Step-by-step explanation:

Coins Number of Draws

nickel 32

penny 54

dime 13

quarter 29

Total Number of Draws = 32 + 54  + 13 + 29 = 128

Probability of Quarter drawn = 29/128

the number of times a quarter would be drawn if Venessa draws a coin 256 times  = (29/128)  * 256

= 29 *2

= 58

option B is the right answer
