Question

The accompanying table describes results from eight offspring peas. The random variable x represents the number of offspring peas with green pods. Complete parts (a) through (d). Click the icon to view the data. a. Find the probability of getting exactly 7 peas with green pods. (Type an integer or a decimal.) b. Find the probability of getting 7 or more peas with green pods. (Type an integer or a decimal.) c. Which probability is relevant for determining whether 7 is an unusually high number of peas with green pods, the result from part (a) or part (b)? The result from part (a) The result from part (b) d. Is 7 an unusually high number of peas with green pods? Why or why not? Use 0.05 as the threshold for an unusual event. A. No, since the appropriate probability is greater than 0.05, it is not an unusually high number. B. No, since the appropriate probability is less than 0.05, it is not an unusually high number. C. Yes, since the appropriate probability is less than 0.05, it is an unusually high number. D. Yes, since the appropriate probability is greater than 0.05, it is an unusually high number.

Explanation / Answer

(a) Probability of getting exactly 7 peas with green pods
P(x=7) = 0.311

(b) Probability of getting 7 or more peas with green pods
P(x>=7) = P(x=7) + P(x=8) = 0.311 + 0.089 = 0.4

(c) The result from part (b) because it gives probability of getting 7 or more.

(d) Option A
Because the p-value computed in part (b) is greater than the significance level of 0.05.
