Question

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. Assume that the offspring peas are randomly selected in groups of 12. 

a. Find the mean and the standard deviation for the numbers of peas with green pods in the groups of 12.
The value of the mean is
μ=
​(Type an integer or a decimal. Do not​ round.)
 
b. The value of the standard deviation is
σ=
​(Round to one decimal place as​ needed.)
 
c. Use the range rule of thumb to find the values separating results that are significantly low or significantly high. Values of
peas or fewer are significantly low.
​(Round to one decimal place as​ needed.)
 
d. Values of
peas or greater are significantly high.
​(Round to one decimal place as​ needed.)
 
e. Is a result of 5 peas with green pods a result that is significantly​ low? Why or why​ not?
The result significantly​ low, because 5 peas with green pods is greater than equal to less than
peas.
​(Round to one decimal place as​ needed.)
