In a hybrid corn research​ project,250 seeds were​ planted, and 105 of them germinated. Find the empirical probability that any particular seed of this type will germinate.

Answer 1

The empirical probability of a seed germinating is calculated by dividing the number of germinated seeds by the total number of seeds planted.

Given that 250 seeds were planted and 105 of them germinated, the empirical probability is:

(105 germinated seeds) / (250 seeds planted) = 0.42

Therefore, the empirical probability that any particular seed of this type will germinate is 0.42, or 42%.
