Daniel has a bag that contains pineapple chews, apple chews, and watermelon chews. He performs an experiment. Daniel randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Daniel performs the experiment 51 times. The results are shown below:
A pineapple chew was selected 21 times.
A apple chew was selected 12 times.
A watermelon chew was selected 18 times.

Based on these results, express the probability that the next chew Daniel removes from the bag will be a flavor other than watermelon as a decimal to the nearest hundredth.

Respuesta :

The probability that the next chew Daniel removes from the bag will be a flavor other than watermelon is 0.65

How to determine the probability?

The distribution of the fruits is given as:

  • Pineapple = 21
  • Apple = 12
  • Watermelon = 18

The probability that the next chew Daniel removes from the bag will be a flavor other than watermelon is:

P = (Apple + Pineapple)/Total

This gives

P = (12 + 21)/(21 + 12 + 18)

Evaluate

P = 0.65

Hence, the probability that the next chew Daniel removes from the bag will be a flavor other than watermelon is 0.65
