Question

A bacteria cell divided into two and dies with probability of 0.25 what is the prbability that the populations wipes out?

Answer 1

Answer:

A jar begins with one bacteria. Every minute, every bacteria turns into 0, 1, 2, or 3 bacteria with a probability of 25% for each case (dies, does nothing, splits into 2, or splits into 3). What is the probability that the bacteria population eventually dies out?

Since you are new, I want to give some advice about the site: To get the best possible answers, you should explain what your thoughts on the problem are so far. That way, people won't tell you things you already know, and they can write answers at an appropriate level; also, people tend to be more willing to help you if you show that you've tried the problem yourself.
