To find the experimental probability of a plant having white or purple flowers, we need to divide the number of plants with each type of flower by the total number of plants:

Probability of a plant having white flowers = Number of plants with white flowers / Total number of plants = 785 / (785 + 262) ≈ 0.75

Probability of a plant having purple flowers = Number of plants with purple flowers / Total number of plants = 262 / (785 + 262) ≈ 0.25

Therefore, the experimental probability of a plant having white flowers is approximately 0.75, and the experimental probability of a plant having purple flowers is approximately 0.25.
