You've decided you want a plant for your room. at the gardening store, there are 444 different kinds of plants (tulip, fern, cactus, and ficus) and 444 different kinds of pots to hold the plants (clay pot, plastic pot, metal pot, and wood pot).
if you randomly pick the plant and the pot, what is the probability that you'll end up with a tulip in a plastic pot?

9/16

Step-by-step explanation:

While the total number of pots = 4

Thus, the probability of not getting clay pot = 1 - probability of getting clay pot =  1 - 1/4 = 3/4

Now, the number of cactus = 1

Total number of plants = 4

Thus, the probability of not getting cactus = 1 - probability of getting cactus =  1 - 1/4 = 3/4

⇒ The probability of not getting clay pot or cactus = 3/4 * 3/4 = 9/16
