plants with purple flowers. Find the empirical probability that a plant had each type of flower.

Answer 1

Empirical means based on experiment or observation, rather than on theory . The empirical probability here is what you would estimate the probability to be if you had no leads based on biological theory . Thus in this case to estimate the probability you should look at the monk's data and for each color take the ratio (# of plants with flowers of that color / total # of plants).
