Question

Bella has a bag that contains pineapple chews, lemon chews, and watermelon chews. She performs an experiment. Bella randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Bella performs the experiment 58 times. The results are shown below:
A pineapple chew was selected 53 times.
A lemon chew was selected 2 times.
A watermelon chew was selected 3 times.

Based on these results, express the probability that the next chew Bella removes from the bag will be lemon chew as a percent to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

Relative frequency ≈ probability = 2/58 = 1/29 ≈ 0.0344828 = 3.448% ≈ 3% (to the nearest whole percent).
