Simulations to Estimate Probabilities Answers

Ava surveyed the students in her homeroom about their footwear. She found that 12 students were wearing sneakers, 4 students were wearing boots, and 6 students were wearing dress shoes. She used this data to create a tool that would predict the footwear of randomly chosen students in the school. She placed 2 blue marbles, 3 red marbles, and 6 yellow marbles in a bag, and selected one marble, with replacement, for each student.What is the predicted footwear of three randomly chosen students if Ava drew two yellow marbles and 1 blue marble?
