Question

A farmer conducted an inventory on his 2 km² of rainforest. The results are in the table. He plans on randomly selecting a seating to experiment on when he goes back to the forest what is the probability that he will randomly pick a type B plant right your answer in the simplest form of a fraction Plant types at a we have 100 seedings B there’s 140 seedings C 80 seeding d 60 and an E there’s 40 seedings

Answer 1

To find the probability of picking a type B plant, we first need to calculate the total number of seedlings in the forest:

Total number of seedlings = 100 + 140 + 80 + 60 + 40 = 420

Now, the probability of randomly selecting a type B plant is:

Probability = Number of type B seedlings / Total number of seedlings
Probability = 140 / 420
Probability = 1/3

Therefore, the probability of randomly picking a type B plant is 1/3.
