The zoo workers expect gibbon offspring this year.
a.
\The probability of no male gibbon offspring this year :
\A success in this situation is a male offspring, so and
.
Want to find the probability that the offspring succeeds times out of those
trials, so let
.
To find this probability, find the value of the term in the expansion of
.
Where and
.
Substiute the values and
in the equation
.
.
Therefore, the probability of no male gibbon offspring this year is .
b.
\The probability of excatly male gibbon offspring this year :
A success in this situation is a male offspring, so and
.
Want to find the probability that the offspring succeeds times out of those
trials, so let
.
To find this probability, find the value of the term in the expansion of
.
Where and
.
Substiute the values and
in the equation
.
.
Therefore the probability of excatly male gibbon offspring this year is
.
c.
\The probability of female gibbon offspring this year :
A success in this situation is a female offspring, so and
.
Want to find the probability that the offspring succeeds times out of those
trials, so let
.
To find this probability, find the value of the term in the expansion of
.
Where and
.
Substiute the values and
in the equation
.
.
Therefore, the probability of excatly female gibbon offspring this year is
.
a.
\The probability of no male gibbon offspring this year is .
b.
\The probability of excatly male gibbon offspring this year is
.
c.
\The probability of female gibbon offspring this year is
