Question

Which statement is true? Step by step.

Answer 1

I believe the answer is A.

Explanation:

If there are 13 daises per bouquet, that means one bouquet is all daises. The other bouquet has 30 flowers. 30-13 is 17 which means there are 17 other flowers rather than daises. 17 is greater than 13 by 4 which is not that much. Therefore I think the answer is letter A.

Answer 2

The correct answer is A. The probability of randomly selecting a daisy from Bouquet S is less than the probability of randomly selecting a daisy from bouquet T.

Explanation:

We are told that Bouquet S contains 30 flowers and 13 of those flowers are daisies. Therefore, the probability of selecting a daisy from Bouquet S can be modeled by:

13/30, which is greater than 1/3 but less than 1/2

We are also told that Bouquet T contains 13 flowers and 13 daises. From this information, we can conclude that all of the flowers in Bouquet T are daises, or the probability can be modeled by:

13/13 = 1

Therefore, because the probability of selecting a daisy from Bouquet S is 13/30 and the probability of selecting a daisy from Bouquet T is 1, we can conclude that, as option A states, the probability of selecting a daisy from Bouquet S is less than the probability of selecting a daisy from Bouquet T.

Hope this helps!
