Answer:
B. [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given a graph that shows the height of the 10 sunflowers grown in PJ's garden. We are asked to find the probability that the 11th flower will be at least 60 inches.
[tex]\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Total number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{total number of possible outcomes}}[/tex]
From the given experiment we can see that there are 5 sunflowers with height more than or equal to 60 inches, so total number of favorable outcomes is 5.
Since there are total 10 sunflowers, so total number of possible outcomes is 10. Upon substituting our given values in probability formula we will get,
[tex]P(\text{The 11th plant will be at least 60 inches})=\frac{5}{10}[/tex]
[tex]P(\text{The 11th plant will be at least 60 inches})=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Therefore, the probability that 11th plant will be at least 60 inches is [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] and option B is the correct choice.
