180/3x then you get you answer
P(orange and then a purple) is 15/56.
P(two purples in a row) is 6/56.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
- A bag contains 3 purple and 5 orange jelly-beans.
- The total jelly-beans in the bag = 3 purple + 5 orange = 8 jelly-beans.
<u>Without replacement, find P(orange and then a purple) :</u>
P (orange) = No.of orange jelly-beans / total jelly-beans.
⇒ 5 / 8
P (purple) = No.of purple jelly-beans / remaining jelly-beans from the total
⇒ 3 / 7
P(orange and then a purple) = P (orange) × P (purple)
⇒ 5/8 × 3/7
⇒ 15/56
<u>Without replacement, find P(two purples in a row) :</u>
P (1st purple) = No.of purple jelly-beans / total jelly-beans.
⇒ 3 / 8
P (2nd purple) = remaining no.of purple jelly-beans / remaining jelly-beans from the total.
⇒ 2 / 7
P(two purples in a row) = P (1st purple) × P (2nd purple)
⇒ 3/8 × 2/7
⇒ 6/56
Answer:The percentage of the plants that are grasses is 83%
Step-by-step explanation:
Seventeen percent of the plants in the greenhouse are broad leaf plants and the rest are grasses
The total number of grasses and broad leaf plants in the greenhouse is 100%. Therefore,
The percentage of the plants that are grasses would be
100% - 17% = 83%
