1. Since 50 seeds were selected at random from each of 5 bags.
Since bag 1 contains 40 seeds, bag 2 contains 48 seeds, bag 5 contains 45 seeds.
So, there are total of 5 bags and from that there are 3 bags which contains more than 40 seeds.
So, the probability will be 3/5.
2. There are no bags which contains 49 seeds in a bag
So, the probability of germination of 49 seeds in the bag will be 0.
3. We have to find the probability of more than 35 seeds in the bag
Since bag 1 contains 40 seeds, bag 2 contains 48 seeds, bag 3 contains 40 seeds, bag 5 contains 45 seeds.
Since, there are 4 bag which contains more than 35 seeds in a bag.
So, the probability will be = 4/5
