previous problems, According to a botanist a particular type of newly discovered plant will have white petals about 20% of the time, the rest of the time the petals are pink. One plant will have either flowers with white petals or pink petals, it can not produce both. A simple random sample of about 900 plants is taken. About 220 of the plants produce white petals. Based on your P-value above would you reject your null hypothesis? Explain your reasoning. T T | ! Paragraph : Arial | 3(12pt) ·-·-·T· · Path:p words:0

Explanation / Answer

Our p - value = 0.0027
