A garden store has the following miscellaneous flower bulbs in a basket:
7 amaryllis
5 daffodils
6 lilies
4 tulips
A customer bought 4 bulbs from the basket, one of each type of flower. If the next customer
selects 1 of the remaining bulbs at random, which is closest to the probability that customer will
get a tulip bulb?

83%
The probability of selecting a tulip bulb after 4 bulbs have already been taken is 4 out of the 14 remaining bulbs. So, the probability is 4/14 = 2/7 = 28.57%, which is closest to 28%.
Therefore, the closest probability to the customer selecting a tulip bulb is 22%.
