Part 1

A genetic experiment with peas resulted in one sample of offspring that consisted of

445

green peas and

166

yellow peas.

a. Construct a

90%

confidence interval to estimate of the percentage of yellow peas.

b. Based on the confidence interval, do the results of the experiment appear to contradict the expectation that 25% of the offspring peas would be yellow?

Definition Definition Method in statistics by which an observation’s uncertainty can be quantified. The main use of interval estimating is for describing a range that is made by transforming a point estimate by determining the range of values, or interval within which the population parameter is likely to fall. This range helps in measuring its precision.
