Question

Layla has a bag that contains orange chews, lemon chews, and lime chews. She performs an experiment. Layla randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Layla performs the experiment 71 times. The results are shown below:
A orange chew was selected 11 times.
A lemon chew was selected 18 times.
A lime chew was selected 42 times.

If the experiment is repeated 100 more times, about how many of those times would you expect Layla to remove a lemon chew from the bag? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

Estimated probability of lemon = 18/71 ≈ 0.25352.
Expected lemons in 100 trials = 0.25352 × 100 ≈ 25.352 → rounded to nearest whole number: 25.
