A genetic experiment with peas resulted in one sample of offspring that consisted of 426 green peas and 156 yellow peas. a. Construct a 95% 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?

2) A random sample of 120 students at a high school was asked whether they would ask their father or mother for help with a homework assignment in science. A second random sample of 150 different students was asked the same question for an assignment in history. Fifty-four students in the first sample and 72 students in the second sample replied that they turned to their mother rather than their father for help. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the difference of the two proportions and express it as . (Round both numbers to the 4th decimal plac
