If a seed is planted, it has a 95% chance of growing into a healthy plant.
If 7 seeds are planted, what is the probability that exactly 3 do grow? Round to 4 decimal places.

Respuesta :

If 7 seeds are planted, the probability that exactly 3 do grow is;

P(X = 3) = 0.0002

This is a binomial probability distribution problem where;

P(X = x) = ⁿCₓ × pˣ × q⁽ⁿ ⁻ ˣ⁾

We are given;

p = 95% = 0.95

q = 1 - p

q = 1 - 0.95

q = 0.05

Thus If 7 seeds are planted, the probability that exactly 3 do grow is;

P(X = 3) = ⁷C₃ × 0.95³ × 0.05⁽⁷ ⁻ ³⁾

P(X = 3) = 35 × 0.857375 × 0.00000625

P(X = 3) = 0.000187

To four decimal places gives;

P(X = 3) = 0.0002
