When a scientist conducted a genetics experiments with peas, one sample of offspring consisted of 939 peas, with 714 of them having red flowers. If we assume, as the scientist did, that under these circumstances, there is a 3/4 probability that a pea will have a red flower, we would expect that 704.25 (or about 704) of the peas would have red flowers, so the result of 714 peas with red flowers is more than expected. a. If the scientist's assumed probability is correct, find the probability of getting 714 or more peas with red flowers. b. Is 714 peas with red flowers significantly high? c. What do these results suggest about the scientist's assumption that 3/4 of peas will have red flowers?
