There are 300 seeds in a packet of flower seeds.
Each seed will grow into a white flower or a yellow flower or a red flower.
The probability of a seed growing into a white flower is 0.62
45 of the seeds are expected to grow into yellow flowers.
One of the seeds is chosen at random from the packet.
What is the probability that this seed will grow into a red flower?

Answer:

.23

Step-by-step explanatio

45 of the seeds will be yellow. So the probability of a yellow flower is

45/300 = .15

Total probability = probability of white + probability of yellow + probability of red

or

1 = P(W) + P(Y) + P(R)

we know P(W) = .62. So let x = probability of a red flower

1 = .62 + .15 + x

1 = .77 + x

x = .23
