Question

Henry has a bag that contains strawberry chews, lemon chews, and peach chews. He performs an experiment. Henry randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Henry performs the experiment 23 times. The results are shown below:

A strawberry chew was selected 17 times.
A lemon chew was selected 3 times.
A peach chew was selected 3 times.

If the experiment is repeated 1300 more times, about how many times would you expect Henry to remove a strawberry chew from the bag? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

Explanation

The answer is 961 . I can explain because, it is really easy all you have to do is add 17 and 23 together because it is only asking about strawberry so lower number on top and higher on bottom you get 17/23 then u put this equation 1300 times 17/23 you will get 960 and some decimals round up to 961 there you go you've got your anwser.

Answer 2

The expected number of times Henry would remove a strawberry chew from the bag is about 1041. This can be calculated by multiplying the total number of trials (23 + 1300 = 1323) with the relative probability of each type of chew (17/23 = 0.7391 for strawberry, 3/23 = 0.1304 for lemon, 3/23 = 0.1304 for peach). The expected number of times Henry would remove a strawberry chew from the bag is 0.7391 x 1323 = 1041.24, which can be rounded to 1041.
