Question 1131882: Eight 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 8 offspring peas, at least 7 have green pods. Is it unusual to get at least 7 peas with green pods when 8 offspring peas are generated? Why or why not?
The probability that at least 7 of the 8 offspring peas have green pods is
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)

This would be 8C7, number of ways can get 7 (which is 8 ways)*0.75^7*0,25^1=0.267. Not unusual.
