When a scientist conducted a genetics experiments with peas, one sample of offspring consisted of
919
peas, with
715
of them having red flowers. If we assume, as the scientist did, that under these circumstances, there is a
3/4
probability that a pea will have a red flower, we would expect that
689.25
(or about
689)
of the peas would have red flowers, so the result of
715
peas with red flowers is more than expected.
a. If the scientist's assumed probability is correct, find the probability of getting
715
or more peas with red flowers.
b. Is
715
peas with red flowers significantly high?
c. What do these results suggest about the scientist's assumption that
3/4
of peas will have red flowers?
