Question
A genetic experiment with peas resulted in one sample of offspring that consisted of
445
green peas and
167
yellow peas.a. Construct a
interval to estimate of the percentage of yellow peas.
90%
confidence b. It was expected that 25% of the offspring peas would be yellow. Given that the percentage of offspring yellow peas is not 25%, do the results contradict expectations?

He sends out an email survey to all students about this issue. A large number of first-year students reply but very few sophomores, juniors, and seniors reply. Based on the responses he receives, he constructs a 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of students who believe first-year students should be given parking privileges in the main lot to be (0.71, 0.79).
