Suppose there is a 0.01 probability that an oak tree has a given form of a fungal disease. Assume each tree contracts the disease independently from other all other trees. a) In a sample of 100 trees, find the exact probability that exactly 1 tree has this disease. b) In a sample of 100 trees, find an approximation to the probability that exactly 1 tree has this disease.
