Question

In a genetics experiment on​ peas, one sample of offspring contained 376green peas and 150yellow peas. Based on those​ results, estimate the probability of getting an offspring pea that is green. Is the result reasonably close to the value of three fourthsthat was​ expected

Answer 1

1a. p0= 0.714

1b The result is not reasonably close to the value of 3/4 that was​ expected

Explanation:

1a.Since One sample of offspring contained 376 green peas and 150 yellow peas therefore the probability of getting an offspring pea that is green will be:

Green pea/(Green pea+ Yellow pea)

p0= 376 /(376+150)

p0=376/526

Probability of getting Green pea = 0.714

1b.The result is not reasonably close to the value of 3/4 that was expected.
