Question 1161132: The manufacturer of a fertilizer guarantees that, with the aid of the fertilizer, 65% of planted seeds will germinate. Suppose the manufacturer is correct. If 7 seeds planted with the fertilizer are randomly selected, what is the probability that more than 5 of them germinate? Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places, and round your answer to two decimal places.

more than 5 means 6 or 7
for 6 it is 7C6*0.65^6*0.35
=0.1848
for 7 it is 0.65^7=0.0490
their sum is 0.2338 or 0.23
