4)An agronomist has found an average of 2 shrubs per acre of jojoba, which serves as the source for transmission oil. Find the Following probabilities:
a) That 5 plants will be found when the number of acre search is (1) one; (2) two;
or (3) three.
b) That no plants will be found in searching the next (1) .5 acre; (2) 1 acre; or (3)
1.5 acres
I want to just do this, but I don't think I can:
The Agronomist finds an average of 2 shrubs per 1 acre jojoba. μ = 2
The probability is given by: μ = np, hence: p = (μ/n)
a.) (1) p = (2/5) = 0.4 (2) p = (2)/(5/2) = 0.8 (3) p = 1.2
120% does not seem rational. If its going to happen, it should be 100% at most.
