Question

Addison has a bag that contains pineapple chews, cherry chews, and watermelon chews. She performs an experiment. Addison randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Addison performs the experiment 23 times. The results are shown below:
A pineapple chew was selected 7 times.
A cherry chew was selected 2 times.
A watermelon chew was selected 14 times.

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

Answer 1

Relative frequency: 14 out of 23 trials were watermelon, so the estimated probability is 14/23 ≈ 0.60869565..., which rounded to the nearest hundredth is 0.61.
