Question

When dragons on planet Pern lay eggs, the eggs are either green or yellow. The biologists have observed over the years that 32% of the eggs are yellow, and the rest green. Next spring the lead scientist has permission to randomly select 60 of the dragon eggs to incubate. Consider all the possible samples of 60 dragon eggs.What is the usual number of yellow eggs in samples of 60 eggs? (Give answers as SENSIBLE whole numbers.)minimum usual number of yellow eggs =maximum usual number of yellow eggs

Answer 1

19

Explanation:

If the scientist chooses 60 random eggs then the overall probability of selecting yellow eggs is 32%. So, there's a chance of he randomly collecting 60 eggs out of which 19 could be yellow.

(60/100) x 32 ~ 19...
