In a genetics experiment on peas, one sample of offspring contained 435 green peas and 170 yellow peas Based on those results estimate the probability of getting offspring pea that is green is. the result reasonably close to the value of 3/4 that was expected?
is it just a yes or no question?
To estimate the probability of getting a green pea, we need to calculate the ratio of green peas in the sample of offspring.
The total number of peas in the sample is the sum of green and yellow peas: 435 (green) + 170 (yellow) = 605.
The probability of getting a green pea can be calculated by dividing the number of green peas by the total number of peas:
Probability (green) = Number of green peas / Total number of peas
Therefore, the probability of getting a green pea from this sample is:
Probability (green) = 435 / 605 ≈ 0.719
To determine whether this result is reasonably close to the expected value of 3/4, we can convert 3/4 to a decimal:
3/4 = 0.75
Comparing the estimated probability (0.719) to the expected value (0.75), we can see that they are very close. Thus, the result is reasonably close to the expected value of 3/4.
