Question 443027
Essay. Show all work. Last fall, a gardener planted 63 Iris bulbs. She found that only 57 fo the bulbs bloomed in the spring. 
*Find the empirical probability that an iris bulb of this type will bloom. Give answer as a fraction in lowest terms. 
---
Ans: 57/63 = 19/21
-------------------------------
*How many of the buls should she plant next fall if she would like at least 60 to bloom?
-------------------
Let "x" be the number she should plant.
Solve: (19/21)x >= 60
x >= (21/19)60 = 67 when rounded up
