He performs an experiment. Oliver randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Oliver performs the experiment 23 times. The results are shown below: A pineapple chew was selected 17 times. A lemon chew was selected 4 times. A peach chew was selected 2 times. Based on these results, express the probability that the next chew Oliver removes from the bag will be peach chew as a percent to the nearest whole number.arrow_forwardRyan has a bag that contains strawberry chews, cherry chews, and watermelon chews. He performs an experiment. Ryan randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Ryan performs the experiment 55 times.
