Answer:
x = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- 14 = number of white cabbages
- x = number of purple cabbages
- P(W) = 0.56
⇒ total number of cabbages = 14 + x
[tex]\mathsf{Probability \ of \ an \ event \ occurring = \dfrac{Number \ of \ ways \ it \ can \ occur}{Total \ number \ of \ outcomes}}[/tex]
[tex]\sf \implies P(W)=\dfrac{number \ of \ white \ cabbages}{total \ number \ of \ cabbages}[/tex]
[tex]\sf \implies 0.56=\dfrac{14}{14+x}[/tex]
[tex]\sf \implies 0.56(14+x)=14[/tex]
[tex]\sf \implies 7.84+0.56x=14[/tex]
[tex]\sf \implies 0.56x=6.16[/tex]
[tex]\sf \implies x=11[/tex]
