Answer:

a.p=0.177

b.0.296

c. 0.463

D. 0.066

Explanation:

Since black fur is dominant over white fur, we say

probability of giving back to offsprings with blackfur=75%

whitefur offspring is 25%

All with black fur

P=[tex]^{n} C_{r} B^{r} W^{n-r}[/tex]

P=6C6*.75^6*0.25^(6-6)

P=0.177*1*1

p=0.177

b) Four with black fur and two with white fur

6C4*0.75^4*0.25^2

0.296

cc) At least two of the pups having white fur

if two of the pups have at least white fur

the combinations will be

6C4*0.75^4*0.25^2+6C3*0.75^3*0.25^3+6C2*0.75^2*0.25^4+6C1*0.75^1*0.25^5+6C6*0.75^0*0.25^6

0.296+0.131+0.032+0.0043+0.0002

0.463

d. The firstborn pup with white fur, and among the remaining five pups, three with black fur and two with white fur.

6C5(0.75)^5*0.25^1*5C3*.75^3+0.25^2

p=0.066
