Callie is growing a certain type of flower that can be red, blue, orange, or purple. she has grown 1200 flowers with the following color breakdown: red: 285 blue: 550 orange: 112 purple: 253 based on this data, what is the probability of any particular bloom being blue?

Assuming the chances are equal to the recorded ratios of past recorded plants, we can assume that the flower has a 550/1200 proportion chance. Out of every 1200 plants, 550 bloom as blue. Reduce this to 275/600, then to 55/120, then to 11/24. 

Your answer will either be a fraction (11/24), a percentage (~45.8333333%), or a decimal (0.458333333).
