Last fall, a gardener planted 74 tulip bulbs. She found that only 62 of the bulbs bloomed in the spring.
a) Find the empirical probability that a tulip bulb of this type will bloom
Ans: 62/74
-----------------------------------
b) How many of the bulbs should she plant next fall if she would like at least 95 to bloom?
x/95 = 74/62
x = 95(74/62) = 113.39
--------------------------------------
Need to plant 114 bulbs
