•Find the empirical probability that an iris bulb of this type will bloom. Give answer as a fraction in lowest terms.
Ans: 56/64 = 7/8
------------------------
•How many of the bulbs should she plant next fall if she would like at least 59 to bloom?
---
Let "x" be number she should plant.
----
Inequality:::::
Solve (7/8)x >= 59
x >= (8/7)*59 = 68 when rounded up
