Chance of seed growing into healthy plant: 0.65
Chance of seed NOT growing into a healthy plant: 0.35
To answer this question, we will use the nCr button on the calculator.
In this situation, n = 8 and r = 1.
If 1 seed doesn't grow, then 7 seeds will grow. So will raise 0.65 to the 7th power and 0.35 to a power of 1
7 seeds grow, so we use the 7th power
1 seed doesn't grow, so we use power 1 :
So the answer is:
⁸C₁ × (chance of successful growth)⁷ x (chance of Unsuccessful growth)¹
= ⁸C₁ × 0.65⁷ × 0.35¹
= 0.137 (3sf)

Answer:
Probability that exactly one seed doesn't grow is:
0.137
Slope = (6-3) / -6-12) = 3 / -18 = -1/6
y = -1/6 x + b
Plug in x = -6 and y = 6 to find the value of b:-
6 = -1/6*-6 + b
b = 6-1 = 5
So the answer is m = -1/6 and b = 5
I am sure the answer is A.
45% = 0.45
0.45 x 138 = 62.1
Hope this helps :)
