Sagot :

Given:

A forest containing about 700 trees.

[tex]\text{Ratio of pine trees is given as }\frac{30}{65}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} Percentage\text{ of pine trees in the forest=}\frac{\text{30}}{\text{6}5}\times100 \\ Percentage\text{ of pine trees in the forest}=46 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Probability that a randomly selected tree will be a pine tree is 46%.

It is experimetal.
