Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Scenario: Genetic Experiment with Peas**
In a genetic experiment involving peas, a sample of offspring was studied. The sample included 440 green peas and 173 yellow peas. The objective is to analyze the data and answer the following questions:
a. **Construct a 95% Confidence Interval**
Calculate a 95% confidence interval to estimate the percentage of yellow peas in the sample. Express the results in decimal form.
Input required:
- \( < p < \) (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
Enter your answer in the provided edit fields and click Check Answer.
b. **Expectation vs. Reality**
It was anticipated that 25% of the offspring would be yellow peas. Evaluate whether the actual percentage of yellow peas differs from the expected 25%. Highlight if the results contradict the initial expectations.
**Note:** There are no graphs or diagrams provided with this text.
