Question
When a scientist conducted a genetics experiments with peas, one sample of offspring consisted of
probability that a pea will have a red flower, we would expect that
907
peas, with
705
of them having red flowers. If we assume, as the scientist did, that under these circumstances, there is a
3/4
680.25
(or about
680)
of the peas would have red flowers, so the result of
705
peas with red flowers is more than expected.a. If the scientist's assumed probability is correct, find the probability of getting
705
or more peas with red flowers.b. Is
705
peas with red flowers significantly high?c. What do these results suggest about the scientist's assumption that
3/4
of peas will have red flowers?a. If the scientist's assumed probability is correct, the probability of getting
705
or more peas with red flowers is
nothing.

- QUESTION 11 A critical thinking professor asked her students to indicate whether they believed each of two headlines. One headline was false, and the other was true, but the students did not know this. The probability that a student selected at random believed the true headline was 89% and the probability that the student believed the false headline was 85%. She found that 7896 of the students believed both headlines. a. In this sample, are the events "believed the false headline" and "believed the true headline" mutually exclusive? Explain b. Find the probability that a randomly selected student from this sample believed the true headline OR believed the false headline.
