Question

samantha has a bouquet of flowers there are three different types of flowers in the bouquet. Red roses, Lilies, and Jasmine. If the probability of getting lilies is 1/2 what is the probability of getting jasmine?

Answer 1

The probability of getting jasmine =
`(1)/(4)`

Explanation:

samantha has a bouquet of flowers there are three different types of flowers in the bouquet. Red roses, Lilies, and Jasmine.

The probability of getting lilies =
`(1)/(2)`

The probability of getting jasmine = ?

The total probability = 1

The remaining porbability after lillies = 1 -
`(1)/(2)`

=
`(1)/(2)`

There are two remaining flowers, and so the remaining probability has to be shared by them,

The probility of getting jasmine =
`(1)/(4)`

The probability of gettng lillies =
`(1)/(4)`
