About 65% of gymnosperm species are dioecious, meaning there are separate male and female individuals. If 10 gymnosperm species are selected at random… Part A: what is the probability that exactly 5 out of the 10 are dioecious? Part B: Is this more likely or less likely than exactly 7 of the 10 being dioecious?
