Find the empirical probability that a plant had each type of flower.

You want the empirical probability of each color of flowers if 511 crossbred plants had white flowers, and 365 plants had purple flowers.

Empirical probability

The empirical probability of a particular color flower is the ratio of plants with that color to total plants.

The total number of plants in the sample was 511 +365 = 876. Then we have ...

p(white) = 511/876 = 7/12

p(purple) = 365/876 = 5/12
