Answer 1

Answer:

The probability that the next flower seed will sprout is 0.667 or 66.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability

The experimental or empirical probability can be defined as the ratio of the number of times an event occurs to the total number of times the random activity was performed.

It can be calculated as the relative frequency of an event A in a sample space. The question states 32 seeds of a certain flower sprout out of 48 planted seeds. The relative frequency of success is computed as

$\displaystyle P(A)=\frac{32}{48}=\frac{2}{3}=0.667$

Thus, the probability that the next flower seed will sprout is 0.667 or 66.7%
