Answer:
D. 14%.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that a garden store has 6 amaryllis , 5 daffodils , 3 lilies and 4 tulips flower bulbs in a basket.
Since a customer had bought one of each type of flower bulb, so the number of remaining flower bulbs will be:
5 amaryllis , 4 daffodils , 2 lilies , 3 tulips
[tex]\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Probability of getting a lily bulb}=\frac{\text{Number of lily bulbs}}{\text{All bulbs}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Probability of getting a lily bulb}=\frac{2}{5+4+2+3}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Probability of getting a lily bulb}=\frac{2}{14}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Probability of getting a lily bulb}=0.142857[/tex]
Let us convert our answer into percentage by multiplying 0.142857 by 100.
[tex]\text{Probability of getting a lily bulb}=0.142857\times 100[/tex]
[tex]\text{Probability of getting a lily bulb}=14.2857\%\approx 14\%[/tex]
Therefore, the probability that the next customer will get a "lily" bulb is approximately 14% and option D is the correct choice.
