Jack has a bag that contains orange chews, lemon chews, and lime hews. He performs an experiment. Jack randomly removes a chew from he bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Jack erforms the experiment 58 times. The results are shown below:
A orange chew was selected 9 times.
A lemon chew was selected 35 times.
A lime chew was selected 14 times.
If the experiment is repeated 500 more times, about how many times would you expect Jack to remove a lime chew from the bag? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Q. Question\newlineWatch Video\newlineShow Examples\newlineJack has a bag that contains orange chews, lemon chews, and lime hews. He performs an experiment. Jack randomly removes a chew from he bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Jack erforms the experiment 5858 times. The results are shown below:\newlineA orange chew was selected 99 times.\newlineA lemon chew was selected 3535 times.\newlineA lime chew was selected 1414 times.\newlineIf the experiment is repeated 500500 more times, about how many times would you expect Jack to remove a lime chew from the bag? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
  1. Calculate Probability: Determine the probability of selecting a lime chew based on the initial experiment.\newlineJack selected a lime chew 1414 times out of 5858 total experiments.\newlineProbability of selecting a lime chew == Number of lime chews selected // Total number of experiments\newlineProbability of selecting a lime chew =1458= \frac{14}{58}
  2. Predict Lime Chews: Use the probability to predict the number of times a lime chew will be selected in 500500 additional experiments.\newlineExpected number of lime chews in 500500 experiments =Probability of selecting a lime chew×Number of additional experiments= \text{Probability of selecting a lime chew} \times \text{Number of additional experiments}\newlineExpected number of lime chews in 500500 experiments =(1458)×500= \left(\frac{14}{58}\right) \times 500
  3. Calculate Expected Chews: Calculate the expected number of lime chews in 500500 experiments.\newlineExpected number of lime chews in 500500 experiments = (14/58)×500(14 / 58) \times 500\newlineExpected number of lime chews in 500500 experiments 120.69\approx 120.69
  4. Round to Nearest Whole: Round the result to the nearest whole number, as the question asks for an estimate.\newlineExpected number of lime chews in 500500 experiments 121\approx 121 (rounded to the nearest whole number)
