One coin is tossed and one colored marker –red, yellow, blue, or green - is selected at random. a) Use the counting principle to determine the number of sample points in the sample space b) Construct a tree diagram illustrating all the possible outcomes, and list the sample space. c) By observing the sample space of the coin and marker, determine the probability of obtaining the color red and heads.

As part of a class project a teacher brings a large jar containing 200 gum balls of 2 different colors, white and green to class. A student draws a sample of 20 gum balls, of which 4 are white and 16 are green. The students job is to estimate how many of the gum balls are white. A.) Use the sample to estimate the % of white gum balls in the jar. B.) Give the sampling proportion as a %. C.) If there were 60 white gum balls in the jar, give the parameter of white gum balls in the jar as a %. D.) Give the sampling error as a percent.
