Question

Valeria has a bag that contains strawberry chews, cherry chews, and lime chews. She performs an experiment. Valeria randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Valeria performs the experiment 41 times. The results are shown below:
A strawberry chew was selected 10 times.
A cherry chew was selected 12 times.
A lime chew was selected 19 times.

Based on these results, express the probability that the next chew Valeria removes from the bag will be a flavor other than strawberry as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

Valeria observed non-strawberry outcomes 41 - 10 = 31 times out of 41 trials, so the estimated probability the next chew is not strawberry is 31/41.
