Fifty seeds were selected at random from each of 5 bags of seeds,and were kept under standardised conditions favourable to germi
nation.after 20 days,the number of seeds which germinated in each collection were counted and recorded as follows: bags:1,2,3,4,5
no of seeds germinated:40,48,42,39,41
what is the probability of germination of:
1)more than 40 seeds in a bag?
2)49 seeds in a bag?
3)more than 35 seeds in a bag?
There are in total 5 bags. Number of bags in which more than 40 seeds germinated is 3 (bag 2, bag 3, and bag 5). So the probability of germination of <span>more than 40 seeds in a bag is: P = 3/5 = 6/10 = 0.6
Q2. The answer is 0.
</span>There are in total 5 bags. Number of bags in which 49 seeds germinated is 0. So the probability of germination of 49 seeds in a bag is: P = 0/5 = 0
Q3. The answer is 1.
There are in total 5 bags. Number of bags in which more than 35 seeds germinated is 5 (all of them). So the probability of germination of more than 35 seeds in a bag is: P = 5/5 = 1
