In the pine tree forest, the probability that a randomly chosen tree is a high producer, that is, it has more than 60 cones, is 0.46.

If a forester selects trees until he finds one that is a high producer, what is the probability that he selects more than 2 trees?
Suppose the forest contains 2000 trees, use a normal approximation to find the probability that fewer than 950 of them are high producers.
Use software ( a calculator) to find the probability in b exactly. Compare your results.

you have chosen a binomal tree to model the price dynamic of a stock. the probability of an up move is 0.60. if the stock mives up, it earns a 5% return. if the stock moves down, it loses a 5% return. The current stock price is $100. A.) compute the possible stock prices after two periods (based on the binomial tree for the stock price dynamic change). B.) compute the corresponding probabilities for each possible price. C.) compute the...

A researcher crossed several randomly chosen pink tree peonies, Paeonia suffruticosa, to test a genetic model of inheritance. She expected to see red:pink:white offspring colors in the ratio of 12:3:1. Below are the observed color proportions of the 83 plants in the study: Observed Proportions of Progeny Colors Red 0.747, Pink 0.205, White 0.048 Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the observed proportions significantly differ from the expected ration. Given: critical = 5.99
