Answer:

a) 0.58

b) 0.598

c) 0

Explanation:

Given -

Total sample i.e n = 18

Probability (p) = 3 % = 0.03

We will use binomial distribution theory for determining the probability of mutated sample

Let X be the number of mutated sample

a)  No samples are mutated i.e X = 0

P(X=0) = 0.03^0 * 0.97^{18}\\= 0.5779 = 0.58\\

0.58

b) At most one sample is mutated

P(X=0) = 0.58 + 0.03^1 * 0.97^{17}\\= 0.598

c) More than half the samples are mutated.

P(X = 10) + ........+ P(X = 18) =  0

This part of the cell stores wastes, water or food.
IgorC [24]

The correct answer is D. Vacuole

Explanation:

In cells, the vacuole is the organelle in which different substances or solutions are stored, this includes wastes, water, food, and even solids that the cell does not require because they are waste and therefore might contaminate the cell or substances the cell store to be used later. Due to this, the vacuole is a chamber that contains specialized membranes that allow certain substances to go in or out. Also, vacuoles can be found in plants, animals, fungi, among others although in organisms such as plants they are bigger. According to this, it is vacuoles the organelle that stores wastes, water or food.
