Garden. A company selling vegetable seeds in packets of 20 estimates that the mean number of seeds that will actually grow is 18, with a standard deviation of 1.2 seeds. You buy 5 different seed packets.
a) How many bad (non-growing) seeds do you expect to get?
b) What's the standard deviation?
c) What assumptions did you make about the seeds? Do you think that assumption is warranted? Explain.
