To find the probability that only one seed will germinate out of three, we need to calculate the probability of one seed germinating and the other two not germinating.
The probability of a seed germinating is 1/3, so the probability of a seed not germinating is 1 - 1/3 = 2/3.
To calculate the probability of only one seed germinating, we multiply the probability of one seed germinating (1/3) by the probability of the other two seeds not germinating (2/3 * 2/3):
(1/3) * (2/3 * 2/3) = 2/27
Therefore, the probability that only one seed will germinate out of three is 2/27.
The probability of a seed germinated is 1/3.if three
of the seed are planted what is the probability that only one will germinate
