In a genetics experiment on peas, one sample of offspring contained 353 green peas and 25 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 three fourths that was expected?

Probability of getting an offspring pea that is green = 0.933

No, its not close to the expected probability.

Explanation:

Given that

Total offspring with green pea = 353

Total offspring with yellow pea = 25

Total population size = 353 + 25 = 378

So, observed probability of getting offspring that is green = size of green population / total population = 353 / 378 = 0.933

It shows that the observed probability of getting green offspring is not close to expected probability of 3/4 (0.75)
