Question 609953
Last fall, a gardener planted 60 iris bulbs. She found that only 45 of the bulbs bloomed in the spring. Find the empirical probability that an iris bulb of this type will bloom and how many of the bulbs should sh plant next fall if she would like at least 52 to bloom?
-------------------------------------------------
Let the number she should plant be "x":
x/52 = 60/45
x = 52(60/45)
---
x = 52(4/3)
x = 70 when rounded up to the next whole number
