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

What is coevolution?
Ray Of Light [21]
Coevolution happens when the genetic development between two or more species affects the evolution of each other. An example would be hummingbirds and bird-pollinated (ornithophilous) flowers. The ornithophilous flowers give nourishment to the birds with their nectar that has high sugar content. The birds in return aids in the pollination of these flowers.
