A shopkeeper sells three types of flower seeds A1,A2,A3A_1, A_2, A_3. They are sold as a mixture where the proportions are 4 : 4 : 2 respectively. The germination rates of the three types of seeds are 45%, 60% and 35% respectively. Calculate the probability in the following cases.

The probability that seed will not germinate, given that the seed is of type A3A_3.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

P(G∣A3)=0.35P(G|A_3) = 0.35.

P(not G∣A3)=1−P(G∣A3)=1−0.35=0.65=65100P(\text{not } G | A_3) = 1 - P(G|A_3) = 1 - 0.35 = 0.65 = \frac{65}{100}.
