A greenhouse is offering a sale on tulip bulbs because they have inadvertently mixed pink bulbs with red bulbs. If​ 40% of the bulbs are pink and​ 60% are​ red, what is the probability that at least one of the bulbs will be pink if 4 bulbs are​ purchased?

Respuesta :

Answer:   0.8704

Explanation:

40% of the bulbs are pink, 60% are red

the probability of picking pink is 0.40 and the probability of not picking pink is 0.60

The chances of getting 4 non-pink in a row is 0.6*0.6*0.6*0.6 = 0.6^4 = 0.1296

The complement to this event is getting at least one pink bulb, which has a chance of 1-0.1296 = 0.8704

0.8704 converts to 87.04%
