Hybrids One of Mendel’s famous experiments with peas resulted in 580 offspring, and 152 of them were yellow peas. Mendel claimed that under the same conditions, 25% of offspring peas would be yellow. Assume that Mendel’s claim of 25% is true, and assume that a sample consists of 580 offspring peas.

a. Use the range rule of thumb to identify the limits separating values that are significantly low and those that are significantly high. Based on the results, is the result of 152 yellow peas either significantly low or significantly high?

b. Find the probability of exactly 152 yellow peas.

c. Find the probability of 152 or more yellow peas.

d. Which probability is relevant for determining whether 152 peas is significantly high: the probability from part (b) or part (c)? Based on the relevant probability, is the result of 152 yellow peas significantly high?

e. What do the results suggest about Mendel’s claim of 25%?
