Question

A seed company has a test plot in which it is testing the germination of a hybrid seed. They plant 50 rows of 40 seeds per row. After a two-week period, the researchers count how many seed per row have sprouted. They noted the least number of seeds to germinate was 33, and some rows had all 40 germinate. The germination data is given below in the table. The random variable x represents the mumber of seed i'n a row that germinated and P() represents the probability of selecting a row with that number of seed germinating.
