Question 1163413: A farmer bought 3 seeds and the probability of them germinating is 3 out of 4. If he planted all the 3 seeds, what is the probability of only one germinating? Answer by ikleyn(52780) (Show Source):
It is the binomial type probability distribution problem.
The number of trial n= 3; the probability of the success trial is , and the number of success trial k = 1.
P = = = 0.140625 ~= 14.1% (rounded). ANSWER
