A genetic experiment with peas resulted in one sample of offspring that consisted of 445 green peas and 157 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. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) b. Given that the percentage of offspring yellow peas is not 25%, do the results contradict expectations? Yes, the confidence interval does not include 0.25. so the true percentage could not equal 25% O No, the confidence interval includes 0.25, so the true percentage could easily equal 25%
