Question

janelys has a bag of candy full of 15 strawberry chews and 5 cherry chews that she eats one at a time. which word or phrase describes the probability that she reaches in without looking and pulls out a strawberry chew? answer an equal chance or 50 - 50 certain impossible likely

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of candies

Total candies = strawberry chews + cherry chews = \(15 + 5=20\)

Step2: Calculate probability of pulling strawberry chew

Probability \(P=\frac{\text{Number of strawberry chews}}{\text{Total number of candies}}=\frac{15}{20}=\frac{3}{4} = 0.75\)
Since \(0.5\lt0.75\lt1\), the probability is likely.

Answer:

likely
