Question

in a genetics experiment on peas, one sample of offspring contained 405 green peas and 38 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 (\frac{3}{4}) that was expected? the probability of getting a green pea is approximately (square) (type an integer or decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of peas

To find the total number of peas, we add the number of green peas and yellow peas. So, total = 405 + 38 = 443.

Step2: Calculate probability of green pea

Probability of an event is the number of favorable outcomes (green peas) divided by the total number of outcomes (total peas). So, probability = $\frac{405}{443}$.
Now, calculate $\frac{405}{443} \approx 0.914$ (rounded to three decimal places).

Answer:

0.914
