In a genetic experiment on peas, one sample of offspring contained 358 green peas and 96 yellows peas. Based on those results, estimated the probability of getting offspring pea that is green. Is the result reasonable close to the value 3/4 that was expected.
To estimate the probability of getting a green offspring pea, we can divide the number of green peas (358) by the total number of peas (358 + 96).
Probability of getting a green offspring pea = 358 / (358 + 96) = 358 / 454 ≈ 0.7882
The result is approximately 0.7882, which is close to the expected value of 3/4, which is 0.75. So, the result is reasonably close to the expected value.
