Problem

Jamar has a bag that contains apple chews, lemon chews, and peach chews. He performs an experiment. Jamar randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Jamar performs the experiment 59 times. The results are shown below: An apple chew was selected 53 times. A lemon chew was selected 3 times. A peach chew was selected 3 times. Based on these results, express the probability that the next chew Jamar removes from the bag will be apple chew as a decimal to the nearest hundredth.

Solution

Step 1 :\( P(\text{apple}) = \frac{\text{number of apple chews}}{\text{total number of chews}} \)

Step 2 :\( P(\text{apple}) = \frac{53}{59} \)

Step 3 :\( P(\text{apple}) \approx 0.90 \)
