A biologist is studying a new hybrid tomato. It is known that the seeds of this hybrid tomato have probability of 0.70 of germinating. The biologist plants six seeds. What is the average number of seeds we would expect to germinate?
6
0.7
4.2
3
Homework Answers
Solution :
Given that,
p = 0.70
n = 6
Using binomial distribution,
Mean = 
= n * p = 6 * 0.70 = 4.2
correct option is = 4.2

A botanist has developed a new hybrid cotton plant that can withstand insects better than other cotton plants. However, there is some concern about the germination of seeds from the new plant. To estimate the probability that a seed from the new plant will germinate, a random sample of 3000 seeds was planted in warm, moist soil. Of these seeds, 2030 germinated. (a) Use relative frequencies to estimate the probability that a seed will germinate. What is your estimate? (Enter...

Velvetleaf is a particularly annoying weed in corn fields. It produces lots of seeds, and the seeds wait in the soil for years until conditions are right. The velvetleaf seed beetle feeds on the seeds and might be a natural weed control. Here are the total seeds, seeds infected by the beetle, and percent of seeds infected for 28 velvetleaf plants: Seeds Infected Percent 2450 2504 135 101 5.3 4.0 2114 76 3.5 1110 24 2.2 2137 121 5.9 8015...

QUESTION 5 You cross want to create a new hybrid plant. You cross Plant 1 (2n=10) with Plant 2 (2n=14) and generate a generation of hybrid plants. Most of the hybrid plants are infertile, however, you do find a hybrid plant that is fertile. You reason that this plant must have undergone a non-disjunction event that now rendered it fertile. If your reasoning is correct, how many chromosomes does this fertile hybrid plant have? O a. 24 Ob. 12 O...

In order to evaluate the effectiveness of a new type of plant food that was developed for tomatoes, a study was conducted in which a random sample of n = 72 plants received a certain amount of this new type of plant food each week for 14 weeks. The variable of interest is the number of tomatoes produced by each plant in the sample. The table below reports the descriptive statistics for this study: Variable Descriptive statistics for the tomato...

In order to evaluate the effectiveness of a new type of plant food that was developed for tomatoes, a study was conducted in which a random sample of n = 76 plants received a certain amount of this new type of plant food each week for 14 weeks. The variable of interest is the number of tomatoes produced by each plant in the sample. The table below reports the descriptive statistics for this study: Descriptive statistics for the tomato food...
