Question
6) What is the median number of infected corn stalks in a given row?
Below you will find the same corn stalk table with the binomial probabilities of finding a given number
of infected corn stalks in a row of 6. If you ran this experiment again, what is the probability that at
least 2 corn stalks become infected in a given row?
