Harper has a bag that contains apple chews, cherry chews, and lime chews. She
performs an experiment. Harper randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the
result, and returns the chew to the bag. Harper performs the experiment 38 times.
The results are shown below:
An apple chew was selected 22 times.
A cherry chew was
selected 6 times.
A lime chew was selected 10 times.
Based on these results, express the probability that the next chew Harper removes
from the bag will be lime chew as a percent to the nearest whole number.

Respuesta :

We can use the results from Harpers experiment to find the probabilities of any of the chews. We don’t need to know the actual number of chews nor do we need to know the number of each type.

The question says that out of the 38 chews taken out of the bag, 10 of them were lime chews. All we need to do to answer this question is to put that into a percentage. We can do this by doing 10/38 and then multiplying by 100. This will give 26.32%. Since we want this to the nearest whole number we will round to 26%.

Hope this helps
