Question 261791: In a pack of seeds, each seed has a .84 chance of germinating. Harold will plant 2 seeds.
a. Draw a tree diagram to represent this problem. Use G for "germinates" and N for "fails to germinate." Be sure to include the probability of each branch.
Determine the probability of the following:
b. Both seeds germinate
c. Neither seed germinated
d. At least one seed germinated

In a pack of seeds, each seed has a .84 chance of germinating.
Harold will plant 2 seeds.
a. Draw a tree diagram to represent this problem. Use G for "germinates" and N for "fails to germinate." Be sure to include the probability of each branch.
Determine the probability of the following:
b. Both seeds germinate
P(GG) = 0.84^2
-----
c. Neither seed germinated
P(NN) = 0.16^2
--------------------
d. At least one seed germinated
P(at least one G) = 1 - P(NN) = 1 - 0.16^2
