n a genetics experiment on peas, one sample of offspring contained 424 green peas and 502 yellow peas. Based on those results, estimate the probability of getting an offspring pea that is green. Is the result reasonably close to the value of 3/4 that was expected?

A survey showed that 81% of adults need correction (eyeglasses, contacts, surgery, etc.) for their eyesight. If 20 adults are randomly selected, find the probability that no more than 1 of them need correction for their eyesight. Is 1 a significantly low number of adults requiring eyesight correction? The probability that no more than 1 of the 20 adults require eyesight correction is (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
A report to Health Canada indicated that an intensive education program was used in an attempt to lower the rate of lung cancer development among females. After running the program, a long-term follow-up study of 40a females was conducted, which revealed the current rate of lung cancer development is 7.a %. (a=1) Find the probability that 10 or less females have lung cancer development.
Physicians at a clinic gave what they thought were drugs to 890890 asthma, ulcer, and herpes patients. Although the doctors later learned that the drugs were really placebos, 5555 % of the patients reported an improved condition. Assume that if the placebo is ineffective, the probability of a patients condition improving is 0.530.53. For the hypotheses that the proportion of improving is 0.530.53 against that it is >0.53>0.53, find the p-value. ?=p=
