(ii) Either a Neem plant or a Peepal plant?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to get the sum of all the plant types

125+165+50+150+110= 600

i) probability of fruit plant or flowering plant= sum of fruit and flowering plants/total plants= 150+110/600=260/600=13/30

ii)probability of neem plant or a peepal plant= sum of neem and peepal plants/total plants= 125+165/600=290/600=29/100
