genetic experiment with peas resulted in one sample of offspring that consisted of green peas and yellow peas. a. Construct a ​%

confidence interval to estimate of the percentage of yellow peas. b. It was expected that​ 25% of the offspring peas would be yellow. Given that the percentage of offspring yellow peas is not​ 25%, do the results contradict​ expectations? a. Construct a ​% confidence interval. Express the percentages in decimal form. nothingp nothing ​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.) b. Given that the percentage of offspring yellow peas is not​ 25%, do the results contradict​ expectations? ​No, the confidence interval includes​ 0.25, so the true percentage could easily equal​ 25% ​Yes, the confidence interval does not include​ 0.25, so the true percentage could not equal​ 25%

Complete Question

A genetic experiment with peas resulted in one sample of offspring that consisted of 432 green peas and 164 yellow peas. a. Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate of the percentage of yellow peas. b. It was expected that 25% of the offspring peas would be yellow. Given that the percentage of offspring yellow peas is not 25%, do the results contradict expectations?

Answer:

The  95%  confidence interval is  0.2392  <  p < 0.3108

No, the confidence interval includes​ 0.25, so the true percentage could easily equal​ 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The total sample size is  n  =  432 + 164 =596

   The  number of  offspring that is yellow peas is y =  432

   The  number of  offspring that is green peas   is g =  164

   

The sample proportion for offspring that are yellow peas is mathematically evaluated as

        \r p  =  \frac{ 164 }{596}

        \r p  =  0.275

Given the the  confidence level is  95% then the level of significance is mathematically represented as

       \alpha  =  (100 - 95)\%

      \alpha =  5\%  =  0.0 5

The  critical value of  \frac{\alpha }{2} from the normal distribution table is  

      Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96

Generally the margin of error is mathematically evaluated as

        E =  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{\frac{\r p (1- \r p )}{n} }

=>      E = 1.96 * \sqrt{\frac{0.275 (1- 0.275 )}{596} }

=>      E =  0.0358

The  95%  confidence interval is mathematically represented as

      \r p - E  <  p < \r p + E

=>   0.275 -  0.0358  <  p < 0.275 +  0.0358

=>   0.2392  <  p < 0.3108

Joey has $400 in a bank account that earns 8% in annual interest. Would this equation be Linear or Exponential?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Exponential

The first year, he would earn 8% interest on the $400 deposited, so he'd have $432. The next year, he would earn 8% interest on the interest earned the previous year in addition to the amount deposited, so he'd have $466.56.

His bank balance would follow the compound interest equation which is exponential.

= 400 × 1.08^t

where t is the number of years since the deposit
