a. Find the probability of getting exactly 3 peas with green pods.

b. Find the probability of getting 3 or fewer peas with green pods.

c. Which probability is relevant for determining whether 3 is an unusually low number of peas with green pods: the result from part (a) or part (b)?

d. Is 3 an unusually low number of peas with green pods? Why or why not?

Refer to the accompanying table, which describes results from eight offspring peas. The random variable x represents the number of offspring peas with green pods.
