The probability that the next chew Liam removes from the bag will be a cherry chew is 0.03.

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

It is defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes, in other words the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

We have:

Liam performs the experiment 62 times

Total number of outcomes = 62

A pineapple chew was selected 58 times.

A cherry chew was selected 2 times.

A lime chew was selected 2 times.

Now, the probability that the next chew Liam removes from the bag will be cherry chew:

P = 2/62

P = 1/31

P = 0.0322 or 0.03

Thus, the probability that the next chew Liam removes from the bag will be a cherry chew is 0.03.

Answer: 0.88

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C is the event of drinking coffee, T is the event of drinking tea and M is the event of drinking milk.

Thus, when we make the Venn diagram of the given situation according to the given information,

Total number of people = 50

Number of people who like coffee, tea and milk = 19

Number of people who like coffee, tea but not milk = 16

Number of people who like coffee, milk but not tea = 2

Number of people who like tea, milk but not coffee = 5

Thus, the number of people who like tea only = Total people - (people who like coffee, tea but not milk + people who like coffee, tea and milk + the one who only like tea and milk but not coffee)

= 50 - ( 16 + 19 + 5) = 50 - 46 = 4

Thus, Total number of the person who like milk = 16 + 19 + 5 + 4 = 44

⇒ Probability that this person likes tea = $\frac{\text{ Total person who like to drink milk}}{\text{ Total number of people}}$ = $\frac{44}{50} = 0.88$
