Question

Caleb has a bag that contains orange chews, cherry chews, and peach chews. He performs an experiment. Caleb randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Caleb performs the experiment 20 times. The results are shown below:
An orange chew was selected 15 times.
A cherry chew was selected 3 times.
A peach chew was selected 2 times.

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

Answer 1

Experimental probability = number of cherries / total trials = 3/20 = 0.15. So the probability (to the nearest hundredth) is 0.15.
