The probability of selecting a flavor other than apple can be calculated by adding the probabilities of selecting a strawberry chew and a watermelon chew, then subtracting that from 1 (since the only flavors in the bag are strawberry, apple, and watermelon).
Probability of selecting a strawberry chew = 4/31
Probability of selecting a watermelon chew = 20/31
Probability of selecting a flavor other than apple = 1 - (4/31 + 20/31)
= 1 - 24/31
= 7/31
Therefore, the probability that the next chew Aaden removes from the bag will be a flavor other than apple is 7/31.
Aaden has a bag that contains strawberry chews, apple chews, and watermelon chews. He performs an experiment. Aaden randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Aaden performs the experiment 31 times. The results are shown below: A strawberry chew was selected 4 times. A apple chew was selected 7 times. A watermelon chew was selected 20 times. Based on these results, express the probability that the next chew Aaden removes from the bag will be a flavor other than apple as a fraction in simplest form.

wrong. it is not 7/31

Apologies for the mistake in my previous response. Let's correct it:
From the results given:
Number of times a strawberry chew was selected = 4
Number of times an apple chew was selected = 7
Number of times a watermelon chew was selected = 20
Total number of chews selected in the experiment = 31
To find the probability of selecting a flavor other than apple, we need to consider the probabilities of selecting a strawberry chew and a watermelon chew:
Probability of selecting a strawberry chew = 4/31
Probability of selecting a watermelon chew = 20/31
Probability of selecting a flavor other than apple = Probability of selecting a strawberry chew + Probability of selecting a watermelon chew
= 4/31 + 20/31
= 24/31
Therefore, the probability that the next chew Aaden removes from the bag will be a flavor other than apple is 24/31.
From the results given:
Number of times a strawberry chew was selected = 4
Number of times an apple chew was selected = 7
Number of times a watermelon chew was selected = 20
Total number of chews selected in the experiment = 31
To find the probability of selecting a flavor other than apple, we need to consider the probabilities of selecting a strawberry chew and a watermelon chew:
Probability of selecting a strawberry chew = 4/31
Probability of selecting a watermelon chew = 20/31
Probability of selecting a flavor other than apple = Probability of selecting a strawberry chew + Probability of selecting a watermelon chew
= 4/31 + 20/31
= 24/31
Therefore, the probability that the next chew Aaden removes from the bag will be a flavor other than apple is 24/31.
