if a seed is planted, it has a 95% chance of growing into a healthy plant. if 9 seeds are planted, what is the probability that exactly 3 don't grow?

Respuesta :

If 9 seeds are planted, what is the probability that exactly 3 don't grow will be 1/5832000 as 5% chance are there that plant will not grow.

What is probability?

The area of mathematics known as probability studies potential outcomes of events as well as their relative probabilities and distributions. Simply put, probability is the likelihood that something will occur. When we don't know how an event will turn out, we can discuss the likelihood or likelihood of various outcomes. Statistics is the study of events that follow a probability distribution.

Here,

The chances of seed to be not growing is 1–0.95 =0.05.

For 3 seeds not to grow being simultaneous occurring events have the probability = 0.05×0.05x0.05=0.000125

As 9 seeds being planted the probability of selecting 1 out of 9 is (1/9).

So for 3 mutual occurring case is (1/9)×(1/9)x(1/9)= 1/729

So the probability will be (1/729)×1/8000=1/58,32,000

The likelihood that exactly 3 seeds out of 9 will not germinate is 1/5832000, or 5%, so there is a chance that the plant won't grow.
