question
lydia has a bag that contains orange chews, cherry chews, and peach chews. she performs an experiment. lydia randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. lydia performs the experiment 62 times.
the results are shown below:
a orange chew was selected 25 times.
a cherry chew was selected 24 times.
a peach chew was selected 13 times.
based on these results, express the probability that the next chew lydia removes from the bag will be orange or peach as a percent to the nearest whole number.

Explanation:

Step1: Find total trials

Add the number of times each chew was selected: \(25 + 24 + 13 = 62\)

Step2: Find orange or peach trials

Add orange and peach selections: \(25 + 13 = 38\)

Step3: Calculate probability

Probability = \(\frac{\text{Orange or Peach trials}}{\text{Total trials}}=\frac{38}{62}\)

Step4: Convert to percent

\(\frac{38}{62}\times100\%\approx61.29\%\), round to nearest whole number.

Answer:

61%
