The probability of selecting a rosebush with yellow blooms is 20%.
This can be expressed as a fraction:
20/100
Or as a decimal:
0.2
Or as a percentage:
20%.
Therefore, the probability that George will select a rosebush with yellow blooms is 20%.

0.2
Or as a percentage:
20%.
Therefore, the probability that George will select a rosebush with yellow blooms is 20%.
To find the probability that George selects a rosebush with yellow blooms, we need to determine the percentage of rosebushes with yellow blooms out of all the rosebushes available.
Given that 20% of the rosebushes have yellow blooms, the probability can be calculated as:
Probability = Percentage of yellow blooms/Total percentage of all blooms
Probability = 20%/100% = 0.2
Therefore, the probability that George selects a rosebush with yellow blooms is 0.2 or 20%.
