Question

valeria has a bag that contains strawberry chews, cherry chews, and lime chews. she performs an experiment. valeria randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. valeria performs the experiment 41 times. the results are shown below: a strawberry chew was selected 10 times. a cherry chew was selected 12 times. a lime chew was selected 19 times. based on these results, express the probability that the next chew valeria removes from the bag will be a flavor other than strawberry as a fraction in simplest form. answer attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total non - strawberry selections

The number of cherry and lime selections is $12 + 19=31$.

Step2: Calculate probability

The total number of experiments is 41. The probability $P$ that the next chew is not strawberry is the number of non - strawberry selections divided by the total number of selections. So $P=\frac{31}{41}$. Since 31 and 41 are co - prime, the fraction is already in simplest form.

Answer:

$\frac{31}{41}$
