a. Find the mean and the standard deviation for the numbers of peas with green pods in the groups of 20. The value of the mean is u = 15 peas. (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) The value of the standard deviation is o = 19 peas. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) b. Use the range rule of thumb to find the values separating results that are significantly low or significantly high. Values of 11.1 peas or fewer are significantly low. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) Values of 18.8 peas or greater are significantly high. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) c. Is a result of 7 peas with green pods a result that s significantly low? Why or why not? The result is significantly low, because 7 peas with green pods is less than 11.1 peas. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

Question

Assume that hybridization experiments are conducted with peas having the property that for offspring, there is a 0.25 probability that a pea has green pods. Assume that the offspring peas are randomly selected in groups of 38. 

a. Find the mean and the standard deviation for the numbers of peas with green pods in the groups of 20.
The value of the mean is u = 15 peas.
(Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)
The value of the standard deviation is o = 19 peas.
(Round to one decimal place as needed.)
b. Use the range rule of thumb to find the values separating results that are significantly low or significantly high.
Values of 11.1 peas or fewer are significantly low.
(Round to one decimal place as needed.)
Values of 18.8 peas or greater are significantly high.
(Round to one decimal place as needed.)
c. Is a result of 7 peas with green pods a result that is significantly low? Why or why not?
The result
is
significantly low, because 7 peas with green pods is
less than
11.1 peas.
(Round to one decimal place as needed.)

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given information:

The probability that a pea has green pods is p = 0.25

Let X = The number of peas with green pods in the groups of 38.

   X~Binomial(n=38, p=0.25)
