Question 1128245: Seven peas are generated from parents having the​ green/yellow pair of​ genes, so there is a 0.75 probability that an individual pea will have a green pod. Find the probability that among the 7 offspring​ peas, at least 6 have green pods. Is it unusual to get at least 6 peas with green pods when 7 offspring peas are​ generated? Why or why​ not?

%287C6%29%283%2F4%29%5E6%281%2F4%29%5E1+%2B+%287C7%29%283%2F4%29%5E7 = 0.445 to 3 decimal places.

That's a significant probability; I wouldn't consider it unusual.
