Counting Principles

In statistics, the counting principle can be said to be the concept in which the quantity of an item is determined. There can be a single item, or a group of items, or items that are related to each other. In every possible set of items, the quantity of the possible item groups or their sorting measures can be determined with counting principles.

Ethan has a bag that contains strawberry chews, apple chews, and lime chews. He performs an experiment. Ethan randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Ethan performs the experiment 47 times. The results are shown below: A strawberry chew was selected 36 times. A apple chew was selected 9 times. A lime chew was selected 2 times. If the experiment is repeated 600 more times, about how many times would you expect Ethan to remove a lime chew from the bag? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
