A genetic experiment with peas resulted in one sample of offspring that consisted of 438 green peas and 173 yellow peas. Required:
a. Construct a 95â% confidence interval to estimate of the percentage of yellow peas.
b. It was expected thatâ 25% of the offspring peas would be yellow. Given that the percentage of offspring yellow peas is notâ 25%, do the results contradictâ expectations?

a

The 95% confidence interval is

b

  The result obtained does not contradict expectation

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The number of green peas is  k =  438

   The number of yellow peas is u =  173

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as

=>    

=>    

Generally the sample proportion for yellow peas is

=>  

=>  

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

=>  

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of   is  

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

=>  

=>  

Generally 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as  

=>    

=>    

From the question we are told that it was expected that 25% of the offspring peas will be yellow

   Now from the 95% confidence interval obtained we see that the expected sample proportion(25% ) falls within it so  it means that the result obtained does not contradict expectation

yes because they have the same amount of green and blur marbles.
