The answer should be 50% or 1/2 or 0.5

Out of 40 seeds 26 sprout
The theoretical probability will be 26/40=13/20
The experimental probability implies that you will plant the seeds and record your outcomes.
Observation:
If you plant one seed the probability to sprout is 1/2 or 50% since the only possible outcomes are either to sprout or to not sprout.
