When a scientist conducted a genetics experiment with peas, one sample of offspring consisted of 911 peas, with 691 of them having red flowers. If we assume, as the scientist did, that under these circumstances, there is a 3/4 probability that a pea will have a red flower, we would expect that 683.25 (or about 683) of the peas would have red flowers, so the result of 691 peas with red flowers is more than expected. a) if the scientists assumed probability is correct, find the probability of getting 691 or more peas with red flowers.

a) if the scientists assumed probability is correct, find the probability of getting 691 or more peas with red flowers.
b) is 691 peas with red flowers significantly high?
c) what do these results suggest about the scientist's assumption that 3/4 peas would have red flowers?
