Question

Based on the data in this two-way table, if a flower is picked at random, what is the probability of getting a yellow flower?

Answer 1

Answer: $\dfrac{3}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given table, the total number of flowers = 315

The total number of yellow flowers = 135

Then , if a flower is picked at random, the probability of getting a yellow flower is given by :-

$\text{P(Yellow)}=\dfrac{\text{Number of yellow flowers}}{\text{Total number of flowers}}\\\\\text{P(Yellow)}=\dfrac{135}{315}=\dfrac{3}{7}$

Therefore, the probability of getting a yellow flower is $\dfrac{3}{7}$

Answer 2

Answer 50:50

If you add 105 and 210 together you get 315 which is equal to the number of yellow flowers alone
