The probability of selecting an apple chew can be calculated by dividing the number of times an apple chew was selected by the total number of experiments:
Probability of selecting an apple chew = 13/34 ≈ 0.3824
To express this probability as a percentage to the nearest whole number, we multiply by 100:
0.3824 * 100 ≈ 38%
Therefore, the probability that the next chew Lamonte removes from the bag will be an apple chew is 38%.
Lamonte has a bag that contains apple chews, strawberry chews, and lime chews. He performs an experiment. Lamonte randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Lamonte performs the experiment 34 times. The results are shown below:
An apple chew was selected 13 times.
A strawberry chew was selected 6 times.
A lime chew was selected 15 times.
Based on these results, express the probability that the next chew Lamonte removes from the bag will be apple chew as a percent to the nearest whole number.
