Forty percent of seeds from maize (modern-day corn) ears carry single spikelets, and the other 60% carry paired spikelets. A seed with single spikelets will produce an ear with single spikelets 34% of the time, whereas a seed with paired spikelets will produce an ear with single spikelets 27% of the time. Consider randomly selecting ten seeds. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

The parameter is n=10.

Let C be the event that seeds from maize carry single spikelets and K the event that seed produce an ear with single spikelets.

Let write the probability parameter p in terms of C and K.

The answer is X - Bin (10,0.136)

Explanation:

p = P (KintersectionC)

=P (K/C). P (C)

= (0.34) x (0.40)

= 0.136

Therefore, X - Bin (10,0.136)
