Answer 1

Given that:

- There are 15 strawberry chews in the bag.

- There are 5 cherry chews in the bag.

You know that there is no orange chew in Kaylee's bag. Therefore, knowing this, you can determine that the probability that Kaylee reaches in without looking and pulls out an orange chew is:

$P=0$

By definition, the probability is zero when it is impossible for the events to happen.

Since there is no orange chew in her bag, it is impossible that she reaches in

without looking and pulls out an orange chew.

Hence, the answer is: Impossible.
