Question

A certain type of seed has a 75 % germination rate.   You plant 20 or these seeds in your garden.

 

Let the random variable X be the number of seeds that germinate out of the 20. 

 

 

 

a)  Find the mean m for the random variable.

m =  Blank 1. Fill in the blank, read surrounding text.

                                                                       

 

 

b)  Find the standard deviation s for the random variable. Give to 2 decimal places. 

s =  Blank 2. Fill in the blank, read surrounding text.    

                        

 

 

 

c)  Find the probability that exactly 15 seeds germinate, that is, find P(X = 15).   

Give the final answer as a decimal rounded to 4 decimal places.

 

P(X = 15) =  Blank 3. Fill in the blank, read surrounding text.

 

 

 

 

d)  Find the probability that at most 15 seeds germinate, that is, find P(X ≤ 15).   

Give the final answer as a decimal rounded to 4 decimal places.

 

P(X ≤ 15) =  Blank 4. Fill in the blank, read surrounding text.

 

 

 

 

e)  Find the probability that at least 15 seeds germinate, that is, find P(X ≥ 15).   

Give the final answer as a decimal rounded to 4 decimal places.

 

P(X ≥ 15) =  Blank 5. Fill in the blank, read surrounding text.
