suppose we know the germination rate for a type of seeds is 0.85. Suppose we randomly select 500 seeds and apply a new fertilizer. After that, we discover that after the new procedure, 445 seeds germinated. So is this new fertilizer effective?

Step 1
This would be 0.85 * 500 = 425 seeds. Show more…

An experiment to assess germination rates on turnip seeds was repeated 100 times with five seeds in each trial. Let x = the number of turnip seeds that germinated in each trial out of five. The probability distribution of x is as follows: x: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 p(x): 0.02, 0.11, 0.24, 0.43, 0.17, 0.03 (a) What is the probability that at least four seeds germinated? (b) What is the probability that at most two seeds germinated?

In the production of a plant, a treatment is being evaluated to germinate seed. From a total of 60 seed it was observed that 37 of them germinated. Is it possible to claim that most of the seed will germinate? Consider a confidence level of 95%. Please explain why p=0.5

It is known that 80% of the seeds a certain vegetable will germinate. If I plant 1000 seeds, what is the probability that at least 825 seeds will germinate? (Round the standard devation to two decimal places; and round your answer to 4 decimal places) (Normal approximation to binomial)
