Question

Emily has a bag that contains orange chews, strawberry chews, and lime chews. She performs an experiment. Emily randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Emily performs the experiment 64 times. The results are shown below: An orange chew was selected 44 times. A strawberry chew was selected 18 times. A lime chew was selected 2 times. Based on these results, express the probability that the next chew Emily removes from the bag will be orange chew as a fraction in simplest form.​

Answer 2

The probability that the next chew Emily removes from the bag will be orange is given by the number of times an orange chew was selected divided by the total number of experiments:

Probability of selecting an orange chew = Number of times an orange chew was selected / Total number of experiments

Probability of selecting an orange chew = 44/64

Simplifying the fraction, we get:

Probability of selecting an orange chew = 11/16

Therefore, the probability that the next chew Emily removes from the bag will be an orange chew is 11/16.
