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
.
