In a genetic experiment on peas one sample of offspring contained 425 green peas and 481 yellow peas. Based on those results, estimates the probability of getting an offspring pea that is green. Is the result reasonable close to the value of 3/4 that we expected
To estimate the probability of getting a green pea, we divide the number of green peas by the total number of peas:
Probability of getting a green pea = Number of green peas / Total number of peas
= 425 / (425 + 481)
= 425 / 906
≈ 0.469
The result is not reasonably close to the value of 3/4 (0.75) that was expected.
