In a genetics experiment on peas, one sample of offspring contained green peas and yellow peas. Based on those results, estimate

Answer:

The probability of getting an offspring pea that is green is is 0.733

YES, the probability is reasonably close to the expected value of 3/4 (0.750)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the probability of an event is;

P = Favorable Outcome / Sample space

Let A be an event of getting an offspring green peas, B be an event of getting an offspring yellow peas and N be the total number of peas.

number of green peas in an offspring are 350

number of yellow peas in an offspring are 127

total number of peas are 477

So in the genetic experiment, the number of times event A occurs is 350 and the number times event B occurs is 127

Now the probability of getting an offspring pea that is green is

P = number of green peas / total number of peas

p = n(A)/N

p = 350/477

p = 0.733

So YES, the probability is reasonably close to 3/4 ( 0.750 )

The probability of getting an offspring pea that is green is is 0.733.

YES, the probability is reasonably close to the expected value of 3/4 (0.750)

The coach of a baseball team separates the players into groups for drills.Each group has the same number of players. Is the tota

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:it is composite

Step-by-step explanation:

it is composite because if there is say 60 people on the team and he divided the groups amongst three people in each group then it would be 20 groups now that isn't prime see so it would be the same thing if the basketball coach separates the team into 10 groups and there's 60 people on that team that's not a prime number that would be a composite number so the answer is composite A prime number would be there's eight people in each group and he separates them into a group so that means that They would be 64 people on that team Now the book that I'm looking at right now doesn't tell you the people on that team and how much people there are on that team but it says there is a different amount from The number of teams to the number of people in the team see there's like eight people in the team and there is for groups so that means two people in each group so That means that the answer would have to be composite and not prime hope this helped somebody.
