Answer:

The emperical probability of being a plant with white flower is

[tex]\dfrac{639}{919}\approx 0.695[/tex]

The emperical probability of being a plant with purple flower is

[tex]\dfrac{280}{919}\approx 0.305[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

There are

  • 639 plants with white flowers
  • 280 plants with purple flowers
  • 919 plants in total.

The empirical probability of an event is the ratio of the number of outcomes in which a specified event occurs to the total number of trials, not in a theoretical sample space but in an actual experiment.

The emperical probability of being a plant with white flower is

[tex]\dfrac{639}{919}\approx 0.695[/tex]

The emperical probability of being a plant with purple flower is

[tex]\dfrac{280}{919}\approx 0.305[/tex]
