Answer 1

The word or phrase that describes the probability that Jackson reaches into the bag without looking and pulls out a cherry chew is likely.

Step-by-step explanation:

The word or phrase that describes the probability that Jackson reaches into the bag without looking and pulls out a cherry chew is likely.

To determine the probability, we need to know the total number of candies in the bag. Since the bag contains 10 strawberry chews and 10 cherry chews, the total number of candies is 20.

Since there are 10 cherry chews out of the total 20 candies, the probability of pulling out a cherry chew is 10/20 or 1/2. This means there is a 50% chance of pulling out a cherry chew.
