Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the total number of candies

The total number of candies is \(19 + 1=20\).

Step2: Calculate the probability of pulling a strawberry or cherry chew

The number of favorable outcomes (strawberry or cherry chews) is \(19 + 1 = 20\). The probability \(P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}=\frac{20}{20} = 1\). A probability of \(1\) means the event is certain.

Answer:

certain
