The problem states that a bag contains green, red, and blue balls. Anna picks a ball at random and puts it back. We are given a table with the probabilities of picking a green ball (0.55) and a red ball (0.25). The probability of picking a blue ball is represented by $x$. (a) We need to find the value of $x$. (b) We are told there are 20 red balls in the bag and we need to find the number of green balls in the bag. (c) We are asked to complete a probability tree diagram, but the tree diagram is not provided in the image, so it cannot be completed.

1. Problem Description
The problem states that a bag contains green, red, and blue balls. Anna picks a ball at random and puts it back. We are given a table with the probabilities of picking a green ball (0.55) and a red ball (0.25). The probability of picking a blue ball is represented by .
(a) We need to find the value of .
(b) We are told there are 20 red balls in the bag and we need to find the number of green balls in the bag.
(c) We are asked to complete a probability tree diagram, but the tree diagram is not provided in the image, so it cannot be completed.
2. Solution Steps
(a) To find , we use the fact that the sum of probabilities of all possible outcomes is
1. $P(green) + P(red) + P(blue) = 1$
(b) Let , , and be the number of green, red, and blue balls respectively. Let be the total number of balls. We are given .
The probability of picking a red ball is . We know , so .
The probability of picking a green ball is . We know , so .
(c) Cannot be completed as the tree diagram is not available.
3. Final Answer
(a)
(b) The number of green balls is
