Question

Easton has a bag that contains orange chews, cherry chews, and peach chews. He performs an experiment. Easton randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Easton performs the experiment 26 times. The results are shown below:
An orange chew was selected 9 times.
A cherry chew was selected 14 times.
A peach chew was selected 3 times.

Based on these results, express the probability that the next chew Easton removes from the bag will be cherry chew as a decimal to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Estimate = observed frequency = 14/26 = 7/13 ≈ 0.5384615, which rounds to 0.54.
