A vase contains 7 red flowers, 3 white flowers, and 5 yellow flowers. If George selects a flower from the vase for his wife, what is the probability that he will select a red one.

The answer to your question is: P (A) = 0.47

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

7 red flowers

3 white flowers

5 yellow flowers

Probability that he select a red one

Formula

P (A) = Number of favorable cases of A / total number of outcomes

Number of favorable cases = 7

Total number of outcomes = 7 + 3 + 5 = 15

Substitution

P (A) = 7 / 15

P (A) = 0.47
