I chopped up some raw assorted hot peppers, covered them with olive oil and then refrigerated them immediately. How long will they keep in the fridge?

Your infused oil falls into the "cooked dishes" part, because there is nothing in there to prevent bacteria growth - so the general rule of "3-4 days in the fridge" applies to it too. – rumtscho Sep 02 '14 at 06:32

Anything stored in olive oil is subject to bacterial growth, even in the fridge. If it is in an air tight container, such as a mason jar, it should last about 1 week. :)
