Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

We are only considering plant height, so we do not need to consider the flower color genotypes. Probability that at least one plant is short + probability that all plants are tall = 1 Probability that all plants are tall = 0.75⁸ = 0.10. Probability that at least one plant is short = 1 - 0.10 = 0.90 = 90%
