Probability: The Gardener’s Seed Mix-Up
A gardener wanted to plant vegetables in his garden. He bought 10 seeds of brinjal, 12 seeds of cabbage, and 8 seeds of radish. The shopkeeper assured him of germination probabilities of brinjal, cabbage, and radish to be 25%, 35%, and 40% respectively.
Before he could plant the seeds, they got mixed up in the bag, and he had to sow them randomly.
Answer the following questions based on the information above:
| (i) | Calculate the probability of a randomly chosen seed to germinate. | [2] |
| (ii) | What is the probability that it is a cabbage seed, given that the chosen seed germinates? | [2] |
