When a scientist conducted a genetics experiment withpeas, one sample of offspring consisted of 911 peas, with 708 of them having red flowers. If we assume, as the scientist did, that under thesecircumstances, there is a 3/4 probability that a pea will have a red flower, we would expect that 683.25 (or about 683) of the peas would have redflowers, so the result of 708 peas with red flowers is more than expected.
a. If the scientist's assumed probability is correct, find the probability of getting 708 or more peas with red flowers.
b. Ispeas with red flowers significantly high?
c. What do these results suggest about the scientist's assumption thatof peas will have redflowers?
a. If the scientist's assumed probability is correct, the probability of gettingor more peas with red flowers is
