Answer:
The probability is 0.609
Step-by-step explanation:
Out of 46 times that the experiment was performed:
A orange chew was selected 5 times.
A apple chew was selected 23 times.
A lime chew was selected 18 times.
We can find the relative frequency of each one of them as the quotient between the number of times that a particular chew was selected, and the total number of chews.
Then for the orange ones we have a relative frequency (that can be thought as the probability) of:
Po = 5/46
For apple we get:
Pa = 23/46
For Lime we get:
Pl = 18/46
We want to find the probability that the next chew Kylie removes from the bag will be a flavor other than lime (so this is equal to the probability of getting orange plus the probability of getting apple):
P = Po + Pa = 5/46 + 23/46 = 0.609
Answer:
0.61
Step-by-step explanation:
Kylie has a bag that contains orange chews, apple chews, and lime chews. She performs an experiment. Kylie randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Kylie performs the experiment 46 times. The results are shown below:
A orange chew was selected 5 times.
A apple chew was selected 23 times.
A lime chew was selected 18 times.
Based on these results, express the probability that the next chew Kylie removes from the bag will be a flavor other than lime as a decimal to the nearest hundredth.
The experiment occured 46 times, a flavor other than lime was selected 5+23=28 times.
Probability the next chew will be a flavor other than lime:
\frac{\color{steelblue}{28}}{\color{indianred}{46}}=
46
