Detailed Solution

The intermixing of one s-orbital and two p-orbitals of an atom to produce three new sp2  hybridized orbitals of equivalent energy is called  sp2 hybridization.  Hence each sp2  hybrid orbitals has 33.33% of s-character and 66.66% of p-character.

The intermixing of one s-orbital and three p-orbitals of an atom to produce four new sp3  hybridized orbitals of equivalent energy is called   sp3 hybridization.

Hence each sp3 hybridized orbital has 25% s-character and 75% p-character.
