Tommy reads the first problem on the exam • #1 Power companies trim trees growing near their lines to avoid power failures to falling limbs in storms. Applying a chemical to slow the growth of the trees is cheaper than trimming, but the chemical kills some of the trees. Suppose one such chemical would kill 20% of sycamore trees. The power company tests 250 sycamore sycamores. What is the probability that at least 60 trees are killed?
