Hybridization A hybridization experiment begins with four peas having yellow pods and one pea having a green pod. Two of the peas are randomly selected with replacement from this population.
a. After identifying the 25 different possible samples, find the proportion of peas with yellow pods in each of them, then construct a table to describe the sampling distribution of the proportions of peas with yellow pods.
b. Find the mean of the sampling distribution.
c. Is the mean of the sampling distribution [from part (b)] equal to the population proportion of peas with yellow pods? Does the mean of the sampling distribution of proportions always equal the population proportion?
