A genetic experiment with peas resulted in one sample of offspring that consisted of 439 green peas and 165 yellow peas.
a. Construct a 90% 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 from the sample is not 25%, do the results contradict expectations?
a. Construct a 90% confidence interval. Express the percentages in decimal form
O<p<O (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
b. Given that the percentage of offspring yellow peas from the sample is not 25%, do the results contradict expectations?
No, the confidence interval includes 0.25, so the true percentage could easily equal 25%
Yes, the confidence interval does not include 0.25, so the true percentage could not equal 25%
