Drevae WashingtonExpected ValveMar 08, 1:35:49 PM?Colton has a bag that contains pineapple chews, apple chews, and lime chews. Heperforms an experiment. Colton randomly removes a chew from the bag, records theresult, and returns the chew to the bag. Colton performs the experiment 56 times.The results are shown below:A pineapple chew was selected 24 times.A apple chew was selected 6 times.A lime chew was selected 26 times.If the experiment is repeated 200 more times, about how many times would youexpect Colton to remove a apple chew from the bag? Round your answer to thenearest whole number.Submit AnswerAnswer:

Answer 1

Given:

A pineapple chew was selected 24 times.

An apple chew was selected 6 times.

A lime chew was selected 26 times.

Let's first determine the probability of selecting apple chew based on the result of the experiment:

`\text{ Probability}_{Apple\text{ }Chew}\text{ = }\frac{\text{ 6}}{\text{ 56}}\text{ = }(3)/(28)`

Let's now determine the number of apple chew expected if the experiment is repeated 200 times.

`((3)/(28))(200)`
`\text{ = }(600)/(28)\text{ = 21.428571}\ldots`
`\text{ }\approx\text{ 21}`

Therefore, the answer is around 21 times.
