In a genetics experiment on​ peas, one sample of offspring contained 400 green peas and 111 yellow peas. Based on those​ results, estimate the probability of getting an offspring pea that is green. Is the result reasonably close to the value of three fourths that was​ expected?

Answer:

Since we got result 0.783 and given probable probability is 0.75.

Hence, these two values are reasonably close each other

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data those collection of offspring

Number of green peas are 400

Number of yellow peas are 111

Total peas = (green peas + yellpw peas)

Total peas=400 + 111 = 511

Probability of getting an offspring pea that is green

[tex]\dfrac{\textrm{Green peas}}{\textrm{Total peas}}=\dfrac{400}{511}=0.783[/tex]

[tex]\textrm{Given probable probability is }\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex]

Since we got result 0.783 and given probable probability is 0.75.

Hence, these two values are reasonably close each other
