Answer:

[tex]\frac{51998079}{1280000000}[/tex] or around 0.0406

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to choose 2 seeds that will not grow - there's

7 * 6 / 2 = 21 possibilities (choose one, chose second one, divide by 2 because each choice was counted twice).

The probability of each of those possibilities happening is:

[tex](5\%)^2 * (95\%)^5 = \frac{2476099}{1280000000}[/tex]

because two need to fail to grow and the rest need to grow properly.

The full probability is

[tex]\frac{51998079}{1280000000}[/tex]
