  1. Drosophila fruit flies have mutations for eye color, wing shape, or are free from mutations with probabilities of 0.05, 0.10, and 0.85, respectively. Ten flies are selected at random.
    1. What discrete probability distribution best describes the probability of selecting certain numbers of flies with eye and wing mutation or no mutation? Name the distribution and write down the equation (with all parameters assigned).
    2. What is the probability that 1 will have an eye color mutation, 1 will have a wing shape mutation, and 8 will be free of mutations?
