Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The probability of flowering plants bearing flowers in January is given the table.

To Find : If a plant has flowered in January, what is the probability that it is a peony?

Solution :

Probability of event = $\frac{\text{Favorable event}}{\text{Total events}}$

The probability of bearing peony in January is given the table i.e. 70%

Hence If a plant has flowered in January,the probability that it is a peony is 70%
