Chapter 5.2, Problem 31BSC

Significance with Range Rule of Thumb. In Exercises 31 and 32, assume that hybridization experiments are conducted with peas having the property that for offspring, there is a 0.75 probability that a pea has green pods (as in one of Mendel’s famous experiments).

31. Hybrids Assume that offspring peas are randomly selected in groups of 10.

a. Find the mean and standard deviation for the numbers of peas with green pods in the groups of 10.

b. Use the range rule of thumb to find the values separating results that are significantly low or significantly high.

c. Is the result of 9 peas with green pods a result that is significantly high? Why or why not?
