A student is taking a biology class that studies animal behavior and is assigned the following research:

In a certain species (mallards), male ducks have green heads and females are a plain color. Probably the purpose of the green coloring of the male heads is to attract the females. The question is:are female ducks also attracted to the green color in food, for example in bread?

We basically want to know if female ducks are indifferent to green bread versus plain bread or if they prefer green bread. The research question can be translated into the confrontation of two opposite ideas:

Idea 1:Female ducks are indifferent to plain versus green bread.

Idea 2:Female ducks prefer green bread.

When a female duck of the above mentioned species is confronted with two pieces of bread, one plain and one green, the probability of picking the green one will be called p . Write the two previous ideas in terms of p.

Idea 1:p .....

Idea 2:p >.......
