Probability of seeing at least one metaphase

Reference no: EM13530054

For a type of tissue the probability of a randomly selected cellbeing in a particular stage of the cell cycle is given by the following table:

Cell cycle       Probability

Interphase        0.5

Prophase         0.1

Metaphase       0.05

Anaphase         0.2

Telophase           0.15

Suppose you examine 100 cells from this tissue.

A. On average what proportion of cells would you expect to be inmetaphase?

B. What is the probability of seeing at least one metaphase?
