Answer 1

38%

There are a total of 6+7+4+3 = 20 bulbs in the basket initially. After the first customer bought 4 bulbs, there are 16 bulbs left in the basket. Out of the 16 bulbs, 6 of them are amaryllis bulbs. Therefore, the probability that the next customer will select an amaryllis bulb is 6/16 = 0.375 = 38%.
