Question

Watch help videoKevin has a bag that contains orange chews, strawberry chews, and peach chews. Heperforms an experiment. Kevin randomly removes a chew from the bag, records theresult, and returns the chew to the bag. Kevin performs the experiment 32 times. Theresults are shown below:An orange chew was selected 5 times.A strawberry chew was selected 17 times.A peach chew was selected 10 times.Based on these results, express the probability that the next chew Kevin removesfrom the bag will be peach chew as a percent to the nearest whole number.Answer:Submit Answer

Answer 1

Divide the amount of times that a peach chew was selected over the total number of times that the experiment was performed to find the probability that the next chew will also be a peach chew:

`(10)/(32)=0.3125=31.25\text{ \%}`

Then, as a percent to the nearest whole number, the probability that the next chew Kevin removes from the bag will be a peach chew, is:

`31\text{ \%}`
