A garden store has the following miscellaneous flower bulbs in a basket: 7 amaryllis 5 daffodils 6 lilies 4 tulips A customer bought 4 bulbs from the basket, one of each type of flower. If the next customer selects 1 of the remaining bulbs at random, which is closest to the probability that customer will get a tulip bulb? (1 point) Responses 17% 17% 22% 22% 18% 18% 83%
The probability of selecting a tulip bulb after the first customer buys one of each type of flower bulb is 4 tulip bulbs remaining out of 16 total remaining bulbs. Therefore, the probability is 4/16 which simplifies to 1/4 or 25%.
Since 25% is not one of the given answer choices, the closest probability out of the given choices is 22%.
