If a seed is planted, it has a 95% chance of growing into a healthy plant. If 10 seeds are planted, what is the probability that exactly 2 don't grow?

The probability that exactly 2 don't grow is 0.075 or 7.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial Distribution

Let's consider a random experience with only two possible outcomes. Call p to the probability that the event has a successful outcome and q to the unsuccessful outcome.

It's clear that p+q=1, or q=1-p.

Now repeat the random experience n times. We want to calculate the probability of getting x successful outcomes. This can be done with the following formula:

Where  

Is the number of combinations:

For the problem to solve, each seed has a p=0.95 probability of growing into a healthy plant. The value of q=1-0.95=0.05.

The experience is repeated n=10 times and we want to estimate the probability that 2 of them don't grow. Note this last data is not directly the value of x because it's not related to success but with no success. The value of x is x=10-2=8. That means, 8 out of 10 seeds grow.

Apply the formula:

The probability that exactly 2 don't grow is 0.075 or 7.5%

for finding the midpoint of any given 2 pair of points simply add the respective x coordinates with other x coordinate and the y coordinate with other y coordinate and divide them by 2

in your question it will be :

(3+1)/2 for the x coordinate of mid point i.e 2

[8+(-4)]/2 for the y coordinate of midpoint i.e 2

so coordinates of mid point of points (3,8) and (1,-4) will be (2,2)
