Probability
In Mendel's genetic experiments many characteristics of the plants were quantified, such as their height (tall or short), flower position (axial or terminal), and seed color (colored or white). Suppose 100 plants are measured, and 39 are tall with axial flowers and colored seeds. Further, suppose a total of 29 plants have white seeds, 6 of them being short and 4 having terminal flowers. There are no short plants with terminal flowers, and the total number of short plants is 12. What is the probability a randomly selected plant will have flowers in the terminal position, but will not have white seeds? Round your answer to three decimal places.
