When a scientist conducted a genetics experiments withpeas, one sample of offspring consisted of 911
911 peas, with 712
712 of them having red flowers. If weassume, as the scientistdid, that under thesecircumstances, there is a 3 divided by 4
3/4 probability that a pea will have a redflower, we would expect that 683.25
683.25 (or about 683
683) of the peas would have redflowers, so the result of 712
712 peas with red flowers is more than expected.
a. If thescientist's assumed probability iscorrect, find the probability of getting 712
712 or more peas with red flowers.
b. Is 712
712 peas with red flowers significantlyhigh?
c. What do these results suggest about thescientist's assumption that 3 divided by 4
3/4 of peas will have redflowers?
