Question

The probability of flowering plants bearing flowers in January is given in the table. FlowerBearing Flowers

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability of plant bearing flowers if it is a tulip is 68%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the table representing the plants bearing flowers in January as follows,

Flower                                                   Bearing Flowers in January

Tulip                                                                        68%

Anemone                                                                 81%

Manzanita                                                                77%

Peony                                                                       70%

Fuchsia-Flowering  Currant                                     74%

Total                                                                          76%

It is required to find the probability of plants bearing flowers in January if it is a tulip.

Now, $Probability \ of \ an \ event = \dfrac{Total\ Favorable\ Outcomes}{Total\ Possible\ Outcomes}$

So, Total possible outcomes = 100  (as the data is given in percentage)

From the table, we have,

68% implies that out of 100, there are 68 tulip plants which bears flowers in January.

Thus, the probability of plant bearing flowers if it is a tulip = $\dfrac{68}{100}$ or 68%.

Answer 2

the probability is 22%
