Question 1182484: A geneticist conducts a experiment with peas, one sample of offspring consisted of 461 green peas, and 164 yellow peas.
Based on the results, estimate the probability of getting an offspring peas that is green.
Round to 2 decimal point accuracy.

remember that
probability=%28number-of-desired-outcomes%29%2F%28total-of-possible-outcomes%29

number of desired outcomes is 461
total of possible outcomes is 461%2B164=625
probability=461%2F625
probability=0.74
the result is reasonably close to the value of 3%2F4+
