Answer:

15 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 27 students. The number of girls is only 4/5 of the number of boys. I started by splitting the class. 14 boys and 13 girls doesn't work, so I changed it to 12 and 15. If it was 12 girls and 15 boys, the girls would have 4/5 of the boys, so it must be 12 girls and 15 boys.

1b The result is not reasonably close to the value of 3/4 that was expected

Step-by-step explanation:

1a.Since One sample of offspring contained 376 green peas and 150 yellow peas therefore the probability of getting an offspring pea that is green will be:

Green pea/(Green pea+ Yellow pea)

p0= 376 /(376+150)

p0=376/526

Probability of getting Green pea = 0.714

1b.The result is not reasonably close to the value of 3/4 that was expected.
