Max accidently mixed 56 turnip seeds with 78 cabbage seeds. Since the two seeds look nearly

identical, he must now choose one randomly to plant. Which of the following is the probability
he will choose a turnip seed?
A) 0.42
B)
0.56
C)
0.58
D)
0.72

Answer 1

A.

Explanation:

1. Add all the seeds to get the denominator, or sample size.

56+78 = 134

2. Determine what you are finding to get the numerator

Turnips = 56

3. Write as fraction 56/134

4. Solve for probability.

5. 0.42
