Question

hannah has a bag that contains orange chews, lemon chews, and lime chews. she performs an experiment. hannah randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. hannah performs the experiment 74 times. the results are shown below:
an orange chew was selected 39 times.
a lemon chew was selected 17 times.
a lime chew was selected 18 times.
based on these results, express the probability that the next chew hannah removes from the bag will be orange chew as a decimal to the nearest hundredth.
answer attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for experimental probability

Experimental probability \(P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of trials}}\)
Here, the number of favorable outcomes (selecting an orange chew) is \(n = 39\), and the total number of trials is \(N=74\)

Step2: Calculate the probability

\(P=\frac{39}{74}\)
Using a calculator, \(\frac{39}{74}\approx0.53\)

Answer:

\(0.53\)
