AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the germination probabilities of two seeds when their types are unknown. For two seeds of the same kind, the probability of both germinating is expressed as P = (Pa^2 + Pb^2)/2. When considering a scenario where two seeds are planted without noting their types, the probability that both are of type A given that both germinate is calculated using Bayes' theorem. The final formula derived for this probability is P(A|2 germinate) = Pa^2 / (Pa^2 + Pb^2). The thread emphasizes the importance of understanding these probabilities in seed germination scenarios.

Let the germination probability (the probability that a seed sprouts) for seed A be Pa and B be Pb.


a) You plant two seeds of the same kind. If you turn heads or tails of what sort you plantet, what is the probability that 2 seeds germinate?
b) A student plant 2 seeds, but he had forgotten to note what sort of seed he had planted. What is the probability that it was A if both germinate?

What i think i right so far:

a) probability should be: P = (Pa^2+Pb^2)/2
 
Physics news on Phys.org
b) P(A|2 germinate)
=P(2 germinate|A)P(A)/P(2 germinate)
=\frac{\frac12P_a^2}{\frac12(P_a^2+P_b^2)}=\frac{P_a^2}{P_a^2+P_b^2}.
 
I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...
