Question

Jayden has a bag that contains pineapple chews, strawberry chews, and lime chews. He performs an experiment. Jayden randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Jayden performs the experiment 41 times. The results are shown below:

A pineapple chew was selected 31 times.
A strawberry chew was selected 4 times.
A lime chew was selected 6 times.

Based on these results, express the probability that the next chew Jayden removes from the bag will be strawberry chew as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

The total number of times Jayden performed the experiment is 41. Out of the 41 times, a strawberry chew was selected 4 times. Therefore, the probability that the next chew Jayden removes from the bag will be a strawberry chew is:

4/41

This fraction cannot be simplified any further, so the final answer is:

4/41
