You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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= 0.837838...
====================================
b) How many of the bulbs should she plant next fall if she would like at least 95 to bloom?
---
Use a proportion:
x/95 = 74/62
x = (74/62)*95
x = 113.387097
Rounding up she should plant 114 plants
================================================
