ANSWER:
Solution
Step 1 of 2
We have to find the probability of 1 is tall and colourful, 3 is tall and colourless, 3 is short and colourful, 1 is short and colourless, when in a sample of 8 plants
Given that the probability of tall and colourful is 9/16, then
The probability of tall and colourless is 3/16, then
The probability of short and colourful is 3/16, then
The probability of short and colourless is 1/16, then
