The probability that a plant had white flowers is _________?

Answer 1

The probability that a plant had white flowers is 0.70

Explanation:

Given:

Number of plants with white flowers=769

Number of plants with purple flowers= 326

To Find:

The probability that a plant had white flowers is=?

Solution:

Total number of flowers plants = Number of plants with white flower + Number of plants with purple flowers

Total number of flowers plants = 769+ 326

Total number of flowers plants = 1095

Probability that the plant had white flowers =
`(769)/(1095)`

Probability that the plant had white flowers =0.70

Probability that the plant had purple flowers =
`(326)/(1095)`

Probability that the plant had purple flowers = 0.29
