A coin is tossed three times. An outcome is represented by a string of the sort HTT (meaning a head on the first toss, followed by two tails). The 8 outcomes are listed in the table below. Note that each outcome has the same probability. For each of the three events in the table, check the outcome(s) that are contained in the event. Then, in the last column, enter the probability of the event.

There are 100 balls in a container. 30 of them are red, 50 blue, and 20 green. We randomly select a ball, return it to the container and select another ball. What is the probability that both times balls are green? Write your answer as a decimal.
Ryan 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. The results are shown below: A strawberry chew was selected 15 times. A cherry chew was selected 20 times. A watermelon chew was selected 20 times. Based on these results, express the probability that the next chew Ryan removes from the bag will be cherry or watermelon as a fraction in simplest form.
