caleb has a bag that contains orange chews, cherry chews, and peach chews. he performs an experiment. caleb randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. caleb performs the experiment 20 times. the results are shown below: an orange chew was selected 15 times. a cherry chew was selected 3 times. a peach chew was selected 2 times. based on these results, express the probability that the next chew caleb removes from the bag will be cherry chew as a decimal to the nearest hundredth. answer attempt 1 out of 2

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall probability formula

Probability = $\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$

Step2: Identify values

The number of times a cherry chew was selected (favorable outcomes) is 3. The total number of experiments (total outcomes) is 20.

Step3: Calculate probability

$P(\text{cherry})=\frac{3}{20}= 0.15$

Answer:

0.15
