Jamal has a bag that contains orange chews, apple chews, and peach chews. He performs an experiment. Jamal randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Jamal performs the experiment 33 times. The results are shown below:A orange chew was selected 15 times.A apple chew was selected 4 times.A peach chew was selected 14 times.Based on these results, express the probability that the next chew Jamal removes from the bag will be a flavor other than peach as a decimal to the nearest hundredth.Answer:
Q. Jamal has a bag that contains orange chews, apple chews, and peach chews. He performs an experiment. Jamal randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Jamal performs the experiment 33 times. The results are shown below:A orange chew was selected 15 times.A apple chew was selected 4 times.A peach chew was selected 14 times.Based on these results, express the probability that the next chew Jamal removes from the bag will be a flavor other than peach as a decimal to the nearest hundredth.Answer:
Calculate Total Chews Selected: Determine the total number of chews selected in the experiment.Total number of chews selected = Number of orange chews + Number of apple chews + Number of peach chewsTotal number of chews selected =15 (orange) +4 (apple) +14 (peach)Total number of chews selected =33
Calculate Probability (not peach): Calculate the probability of selecting a chew that is not peach.Probability (not peach)=Total number of chews selectedNumber of orange chews+Number of apple chewsProbability (not peach)=3315+4Probability (not peach)=3319
Convert to Decimal: Convert the probability to a decimal.Probability (not peach) as a decimal = 3319≈0.5757575757575758
Round to Nearest Hundredth: Round the decimal to the nearest hundredth.Rounded probability (not peach) = 0.58
