Based on these results, express the probability that the next chew Lamonte removes from the bag will be an apple chew as a percent to the nearest whole number.
Solution
To find the probability that the next chew Lamonte removes from the bag will be an apple chew, we need to use the ratio of apple chews selected to the total number of chews selected.
- Apple chews selected: 13
- Total chews selected: 13 (apple) + 6 (strawberry) + 15 (lime) = 34
The probability of selecting an apple chew is:
To convert this to a percentage:
Rounding to the nearest whole number, the probability is 38%.
