Really need the answer! Thanks in advance. Maya plants 10 flower bulbs in the fall 2 pink, 4 purple, and 4 yellow find the probability that the first flower to bloom is yellow

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the number of yellow flowers divided by the total number of flowers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

how many yellow flowers are there? how many flowers are there entotal?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

and a probability is some number from 0 to 1 ... so it just cant be 5

Oops I read it wrong. So there are 4 yellows and 10 total and 10 divided by 4 equals 0.4 is that right?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

4/10 = .4 yes :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

10/4 ... not so much :)
