Jack has a bag that contains orange chews, lemon chews, and lime chews. He performs an experiment. Jack randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Jack performs the experiment 58 times. The results are shown below:

Question

A orange chew was selected 9 times.
A lemon chew was selected 35 times.
A lime chew was selected 14 times.

If the experiment is repeated 500 more times, about how many times would you expect Jack to remove a lime chew from the bag? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

Based on the results of the first 58 experiments, the probability of selecting a lime chew is 14/58 = 0.2414.

For the additional 500 experiments, we can expect about 0.2414 * 500 = 120.7 times Jack will remove a lime chew from the bag.

Rounded to the nearest whole number, we would expect Jack to remove a lime chew about 121 times in the next 500 experiments.
