Question

Nevaeh has a bag that contains pineapple chews, lemon chews, and peach chews. She performs an experiment. Nevaeh randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Nevaeh performs the experiment 54 times. The results are shown below:
A pineapple chew was selected 21 times.
A lemon chew was selected 10 times.
A peach chew was selected 23 times.

Based on these results, express the probability that the next chew Nevaeh removes from the bag will be pineapple or peach as a decimal to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

P(pineapple or peach) ≈ (21 + 23) / 54 = 44 / 54 = 22 / 27 ≈ 0.814814... ≈ 0.81 (to the nearest hundredth).
