Question

A vase contains 7 red flowers, 3 white flowers, and 5 yellow flowers. If George selects a flower from the vase for his wife, what is the probability that he will select a red one.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is: P(A) = 0.47

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

7 red flowers

3 white flowers

5 yellow flowers

Probability  that he select a red one

Formula

 P(A) = Number of favorable cases of A / total number of outcomes

Number of favorable cases = 7

Total number of outcomes = 7 + 3 + 5 = 15

Substitution

                      P(A) = 7 / 15

                      P(A) = 0.47
