A monk crossbred plants, which can have purple or white flowers, and obtained 586 plants with white flowers and 281 plants with purple flowers. Find the experimental probability that a plant had each type of flower.. The probability a plant had white flowers is (Round to two decimal places as needed.) The probability a plant had purple flowers is (Round to two decimal places as needed.)​



Answer :

Answer: the experimental probability that a plant had white flowers is approximately 0.68, and the probability that a plant had purple flowers is approximately 0.32.

Step-by-step explanation: Total number of plants = Number of white flower plants + Number of purple flower plants

Total number of plants = 586 + 281

Total number of plants = 867

Probability of white flowers:

$P(\text{white}) = \frac{586}{867}$

$P(\text{white}) \approx 0.68$ (rounded to two decimal places)

Probability of purple flowers:

$P(\text{purple}) = \frac{281}{867}$

$P(\text{purple}) \approx 0.32$ (rounded to two decimal places)
