Probability 16 Online
OpenStudy (kitkat16):

Steps please! Do I add up the percentages and then divide the quantity? Not sure... The probability of flowering plants bearing flowers in January is given in the table. If a plant has flowered in January what is the probability that it is a peony?

@ganeshie8 can u help?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

how many plants flowered? how many of them were peonys?

OpenStudy (kitkat16):

5 plants and 70% were peonys

OpenStudy (kitkat16):

30% were not peonys

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the tables looks like its a list of all the flowering stuff; it looks to me like I would add up all the percentages and determine what 70/total is

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if we assume each set has 100 plants each 68 tulips had flowers 81 anemone had flowers 77... 70... 74... 70 out of all the flowers are peony

OpenStudy (amistre64):

but 18.9 aint an option

OpenStudy (kitkat16):

3.7 or 370

OpenStudy (amistre64):

none of my ideas are getting an option other than insufficient data.

OpenStudy (kitkat16):

ok thank you. Do you know what data might be missing so I can look for it next time?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

something to determine the number of plants in each set would be helpful ... but this early int he morning im not that sure if its needed or not. i just cant seem to approach an option wihtout it :)

OpenStudy (kitkat16):

lol thanks :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if insufficinet is correct, do let me know wont you ;)

OpenStudy (kitkat16):

I will if I see this question again.
