Question

A florist sold 50 bouquets yesterday, including 10 rose bouquets. What is the experimental probability that the next bouquet sold will be a rose bouquet?

Answer 1

`(1)/(5)`

Explanation:

Given

Total number of bouquets sold yesterday
`= 50`

Total number of rose bouquets sold yesterday
`= 10`

Then the probability of selling a rose bouquet out of total 50 bouquet is

`(10)/(50) \\(1)/(5)`

Probability of selling other than rose bouquet out of total 50 bouquet is

`1 -` probability of selling a rose bouquet

Substituting the given values in above equation we get -

`1 - (1)/(5) \\= (4)/(5)`

Probability that the next bouquet sold will be a rose bouquet

`1 * (1)/(5) \\(1)/(5)`
