14.31 Genetics. According to genetic theory, the blossom color in the second generation of a certain cross of sweet peas should be red or white in a 3:1 ratio. That is, each plant has probability 3/4 of having red blossoms, and the blossom colors of separate plants are independent. blickwinkel/Alamy Stock Photo a. What is the probability that exactly three out of four of these plants have red blossoms? b. What is the mean number of red-blossomed plants when 60 plants of this type are grown from seeds? c. What is the probability of obtaining at least 45 red-blossomed plants when 60 plants are grown from seeds? Use the Normal approximation. If your software allows, find the exact binomial probability and compare the two results.
