Question

A package of 30 wildflower seeds contains 15 black-eyed Susan seeds.

What is the probability that a randomly selected seed will be a black-eyed Susan seed?

Write your answer as a fraction or whole number.

P(black-eyed Susan)

Answer 1

Whenever you're dealing with questions regarding probability, use the following formula:

Probability = Number of Outcomes in given scenario/Number of Outcomes in all scenarios

Analyzing the question, we get...

1. Number of outcomes in given scenario: Number of black-eyed susan seed = 15
2. Number of outcomes in all scenarios: Number of wildflower seeds = 30

Thus, by inserting those numbers into the formula, we get...

P = 15/30 = 1/2 = 50%

Hope that helped!
