Question

A package of mixed lettuce seeds contains 150 green lettuce seeds and 50 red lettuce seeds. What is the probability that a randomly selected seed will be a red lettuce seed? Write your answer as a percent.​

Answer 1

25%

Explanation:

I used relative frequency approach

n(total number of seeds)= 150+50=200.

probability (selecting a red lettuce) = red lettuce divided by the total number of seeds.

probability (selecting red lettuce) = 50/200 = 0.25

in percentage, probability = 0.25*100= 25%✓
