In wet conditions, fungicides are employed to protect seeds. To see if a fungicide was effective, twenty seeds were planted, ten of which were treated with fungicide and ten of which were not. The seeds were placed in wet soil and the number of seedlings that sprouted was counted. What are the chances that two out of every four plants that emerge are from treated seeds if the fungicide was ineffective?
