a bed of flowers consists of 100 stalks of flowers of which 20 are lillies, h are roses and the rest are tulips. given that the probability of picking a stalk of tulip at random is 41 find the value of h.
Q. a bed of flowers consists of 100 stalks of flowers of which 20 are lillies, h are roses and the rest are tulips. given that the probability of picking a stalk of tulip at random is 41 find the value of h.
Total Flowers Calculation: Total number of flowers = 100 Number of lilies = 20 Number of tulips = Probability of tulip × Total number of flowers Number of tulips = 41×100=25
Number of Tulips Calculation: Now, let's find the number of roses, h. Total flowers = Number of lilies + Number of tulips + Number of roses100=20+25+h
Number of Roses Calculation: Solve for h:100=45+hh=100−45h=55
