Question

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

Answer: 0.42

Explanation:

Max accidently mixed 56 turnip seeds and 78 cabbage seeds together because the two seeds look nearly

identical. The probability of choosing a turnips seed will be:

Turnip seed= 56

Cabbage seeds= 78

Total seeds= 56+78 = 134

Probability of choosing a turnips seed:

= 56/134

= 0.42
