Mendelian Genetics One of Mendel’s famous genetics experiments yielded 580 peas, with 428 of them green and 152 yellow.

a. Find a 99% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of green peas.

b. Based on his theory of genetics, Mendel expected that 75% of the offspring peas would be green. Given that the percentage of offspring green peas is not 75%, do the results contradict Mendel’s theory? Why or why not?
