A monk crossbred plants, which can have purple or white flowers, and obtained 601 plants with white flowers and 233 plants with purple flowers. Find the experimental probability that a plant had each type of flower.

72.06% probability that the plant had white flowers.

27.94% probability that the plant had purple flowers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The experimental probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes, from an experiment.

In this problem:

The experiment is the number of plants counted.

There are 601 + 233 = 834 plants.

601 have white flowers

601/834 = 0.7206

72.06% probability that the plant had white flowers.

233 have purple flowers

233/834 = 0.2794

27.94% probability that the plant had purple flowers.
