Jayne has a collectionof 50 old teapots.
27 of them have rose patterns: 0.54 have rose patterns
Some of them are covered in blue willow patterns.
Some of them have striped patterns and the rest have plain colours.
-----------------------------------------
One teapot is chosen at random:
The probability that it will have a striped pattern is 0.08
-----------------------------------------
How many of Jaynes teapots are striped?
# of striped = 0.08*50 = 4
-----------------------------------------
The probability that it will have a blue willow pattern is 0.22.
How many of Jaynes teapots have plain colours.
% of plain = 100%-(0.54+0.08+0.22) = 0.16
# of plain colored = 0.16*50 = 8
