Question 1134698
Use the binomial probability formula
:
Probability (P) (k successes in n trials) = nCk * p^k * (1-p)^(n-k), p is individual probability, nCk = n!/(k! * (n-k)!)
:
For this problem, k = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and p = 0.75
:
P (no more than 5 have green pods out of 10 offspring) = P(k=0, n=10) + P(k=1, n=10) + P(k=2, n=10) + P(k=3, n=10) + P(k=4, n=10) + P(k=5, n=10) = 0.0781
