Question

PLANTS Of the water lilies in the pond, 43% are yellow. The others are white. A frog randomly jumps onto a lily. Describe the complement of the frog landing on a yellow lily and find its probability.

Answer 1

The probability of the frog landing on a complement of yellow lily is 0.57

Explanation:

PLANTS Of the water lilies in the pond, 43% are yellow. The others are white.

The complement is
`1-p`.

It is given that 43% of plants are lilies it means the probability of a frog randomly jumps onto a lily is:
`p=0.43`

Now the complement is:

`1-p=1-0.43`

`1-p=0.57`

Hence, the probability of the frog landing on a complement of yellow lily is 0.57
