Question

in a genetics experiment on peas, one sample of offspring contained 405 green peas and 36 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: Find total number of peas

Total peas = green peas + yellow peas = \( 405 + 36 = 441 \)

Step2: Calculate probability of green pea

Probability = \( \frac{\text{Number of green peas}}{\text{Total number of peas}} = \frac{405}{441} \approx 0.918 \) (rounded to three decimal places)

Answer:

0.918
