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?
(1 point)
22%
83%
17%
18%
The probability that the next customer will select a tulip bulb is 4 out of the remaining 18 bulbs (since one of each type of bulb was already taken by the first customer), which simplifies to 4/18 = 2/9 or approximately 22%.
Therefore, the closest option is 22%.
