On the package for a certain brand of spinach seeds there is a guarantee that, if the printed instructions are followed, 67% of planted seeds will germinate. A random sample of 9 seeds is chosen. If these seeds are planted according to the instructions, find the probability that fewer than 8 of them germinate. Do not round your intermediate computations, and round your answer to three decimal places.
