Question

Sorry to bother. The odds of picking a bulb from a box that will eventually bloom into a red flower are 5/12. what are the odds that the bulb will bloom into a flower that is a color other than red?

Answer 1

\[1- {5 \over 12} = {7 \over 12} \]So you have a 7/12 chance of picking one that won't be red.

Answer 2

oh okay now I understand thank you so much

Answer 3

you're welcome.
