The total number of seedlings is:
100 + 140 + 80 + 60 + 40 = 420
The number of type B seedlings is 140.
Therefore, the probability of randomly selecting a type B plant is:
140/420 = 1/3
So the answer is 1/3.
100 + 140 + 80 + 60 + 40 = 420
The number of type B seedlings is 140.
Therefore, the probability of randomly selecting a type B plant is:
140/420 = 1/3
So the answer is 1/3.
