Genetic theory indicates that the probability that a Dame's Rocket (flowering herbaceous plant) has white flowers is 1/4, pink flowers 1/2, and purple flowers 1/4. In a random selection of 5 of these plants. 4. How many flowers (n) must be randomly selected if we require that the probability of observing at least one white flower is 0.95?
