Question

When a scientist conducted a genetics experiments with​ peas, one sample of offspring consisted of

951951

​peas, with

741741

of them having red flowers. If we​ assume, as the scientist​ did, that under these​ circumstances, there is a

3 divided by 43/4

probability that a pea will have a red​ flower, we would expect that

713.25713.25

​(or about

713713​)

of the peas would have red​ flowers, so the result of

741741

peas with red flowers is more than expected.

a. If the​ scientist's assumed probability is​ correct, find the probability of getting

741741

or more peas with red flowers.

b. Is

741741

peas with red flowers significantly​ high?

c. What do these results suggest about the​ scientist's assumption that

3 divided by 43/4

of peas will have red​ flowers?
