Answer:

1. The chances are 50% or 1/2.

2.

a. The chances of getting a red flower from all the flowers is 44.4% or 4/9.

b. The chances of getting a yellow flower is 22.2% or 2/9.

c. The chances of getting a white is 33.3% or 1/3.

d. The chances of getting a red and a white is 36.36% or 4/11.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. A coin has two sides: heads and tails. If there are two sides, then the chances are 50% of getting a tails.

2a. If there are 4 red flowers in 9 total flowers, then the chance of randomly getting a red is approximately 44.4% or 4/9.

2b. If there are 2 yellows in 9, then the chance of randomly getting a yellow is 22.2% or 2/9.

2c. If there are 3 whites in 9, the chance of randomly getting a white is 33.3% or 1/3 (simplified version of 3/9).

2d. To get the chance of getting a red and a white among all, we must write all possible outcomes like this:

The colors:

Red

Red

Red

Red

Yellow

Yellow

White

White

The outcomes:

Red Red, Red Red, Red Red, Red Red, Red Red, Red Red, Red Yellow, Red Yellow, Red Yellow, Red Yellow, Red Yellow, Red Yellow, Red Yellow, Red Yellow, Yellow Yellow, Red White, Red White, Red White, Red White, Red White, Red White, Red White, Red White, Red White, Red White, Red White, Red White, White White, White White, White white.

There are twelve possible outcomes of getting a red and a white in all 33. This gives us the probability of 36.36% or 4/11 (simplified version of 12/33).
