Answer:

  • The empirical probability that a plant has white flowers is 0.695
  • The empirical probability that a plant has purple flowers is 0.305

Explanation:

The empirical or experimental probability is found using the results of a set of trials instead of calculated with the probability theory.

In this case, the total amount of plants of the experiment is 639 + 280 = 919.

The empirical probability that a plant has white flowers is:

  • Number of plants with whtie flowers / total number of plants
  • 639 / 919 ≈ 0.695

The empirical probability that a plant has purple flowers is:

  • Number of plants with purple flowers / total number of plants
  • 280 / 919 = 0.305
