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)
