Question 1156140: A genetic experiment with peas resulted in one sample of offspring that consisted of 409 green peas and 156 yellow peas.
a. Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate of the percentage of yellow peas.
b. It was expected that 25% of the offspring peas would be yellow. Given that the percentage of offspring yellow peas is not 25%, do the results contradict expectations?
a. Construct a 95% confidence interval. Express the percentages in decimal form.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! sample mean is 156/565=0.2761
half interval is z(0.975)* sqrt (.2761*7239)/565)=1.96*0.0188=0.0369
the interval (0.239, 0.313) or (23.9% 31.3%)
Since 25% is in the interval, the results do not contradict expectations.
