Question 1100250: In testing a lethal concentration of a chemical substance found in polluted water, it is found that a certain concentration will kill 27.8% of the fish that are subjected to it for 24 hours. If 17 fish are placed in a tank containing this concentration for 24 hours, find:
(Round your answers to four decimal places if necessary)
a. the probability that exactly 15 survived;
b. the probability that at least 14 survived;
c. the probability that at most 15 survived; and
d. the expected number of fish that survived. Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You can use a binomial probability to model the probability of the number of fish that survive for 24 hours,
