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?
