Damian has a bag that contains pineapple chews, lemon chews, and watermelon chews. He performs an experiment. Damian randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Damian performs the experiment 68 times. The results are shown below: A pineapple chew was selected 39 times. A lemon chew was selected 24 times. A watermelon chew was selected 5 times. Based on these results, express the probability that the next chew Damian removes from the bag will be lemon chew as a decimal to the nearest hundredth.

To find the probability that the next chew Damian removes from the bag will be a lemon chew, we need to divide the number of times a lemon chew was selected by the total number of experiments conducted.

P(choosing a lemon chew) = number of times a lemon chew was selected / total number of experiments
P(choosing a lemon chew) = 24 / 68
P(choosing a lemon chew) = 0.3529

Therefore, the probability that the next chew Damian removes from the bag will be a lemon chew is approximately 0.35 to the nearest hundredth.
