Corey has a bag that contains orange chews, cherry chews, and watermelon chews. He performs an experiment. Corey randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Corey performs the experiment 54 times. The results are shown below:

A orange chew was selected 18 times.
A cherry chew was selected 4 times.
A watermelon chew was selected 32 times.

If the experiment is repeated 1400 more times, about how many times would you expect Corey to remove a watermelon chew from the bag? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

1 answer

Based on the current results, the probability of selecting a watermelon chew is 32/54 = 0.59.

If the experiment is repeated 1400 more times, we can expect approximately 0.59 * 1400 = 826 times Corey would select a watermelon chew.

Rounding to the nearest whole number, we expect Corey to select a watermelon chew about 826 times.
