Question

Tom plants 3 seeds.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 64/125

B. 124/125.

Step-by-step explanation:

A).  As the events ( germinate or not germinate) are independent we multiply the probabilities.

Prob(All seeds germinate) = 4/5*4/5*4/5 =  64/125.

B). Probability of at least one germinating =  1 - probability that none germinate

Probability of  1 seed not germinating = 1 -45 = 1/5.

So Prob(at least one germinating)

= 1 - (1/5 * 1/5 * 1/5)

= 1 - 1/125

= 124/125.
