When a scientist conducted a genetics experiments with peas, one sample of offspring consisted of 911 peas, with 713

of them having red flowers. If we assume, as the scientist did, that under these circumstances, there is a 3 divided by 4

probability that a pea will have a red flower, we would expect that 683.25

(or about 683
)
of the peas would have red flowers, so the result of 713

peas with red flowers is more than expected.
a. If the scientist's assumed probability is correct, find the probability of getting 713

or more peas with red flowers.
b. Is 713

peas with red flowers significantly high?
c. What do these results suggest about the scientist's assumption that 3 divided by 4

of peas will have red flowers?
a. If the scientist's assumed probability is correct, the probability of getting 713

or more peas with red flowers is 0.0126
.
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
b. Is 713

peas with red flowers significantly high?
Yes,
No,
Yes,

because the probability of this event is
less
less
greater

than the probability cutoff that corresponds to a significant event, which is
0.05.
0.05.
0.95.
0.5.
c. What do these results suggest about the scientist's assumption that 3 divided by 4

of peas will have red flowers?
A.
Since the result of 713

peas with red flowers is

significantly high, it is not

strong evidence against the scientist's assumption that 3 divided by 4

of peas will have red flowers.
B.
The results do not indicate anything about the scientist's assumption.
C.
Since the result of 713

peas with red flowers is not

significantly high, it is

strong evidence against the scientist's assumption that 3 divided by 4

of peas will have red flowers.
D.
Since the result of 713

peas with red flowers is

significantly high, it is

strong evidence against the scientist's assumption that 3 divided by 4

of peas will have red flowers.
E.
Since the result of 713

peas with red flowers is

significantly high, it is

strong evidence supporting the scientist's assumption that 3 divided by 4

of peas will have red flowers.
F.
Since the result of 713

peas with red flowers is not

significantly high, it is not

strong evidence against the scientist's assumption that 3 divided by 4

of peas will have red flowers.
