When mendel conducted his famous genetics experiments with peas, one sample of offspring consisted of 428 green peas and 155 yellow peas for a total of 583 peas. a) find a 95% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of yellow peas and then interpret your answer.

(0.23, 0.30)

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of green peas = 428

Number of yellow peas = 155

Total number of peas = n = 583

Since we have to establish the confidence interval for yellow peas, the sample proportion of yellow peas would be considered as success i.e. p =

q = 1 - p =

Confidence Level = 95%

Z value associated with this confidence level = z = 1.96

Confidence interval for the population proportion is calculated as:

Using the values, we get:

Conclusion:

We are 95% confident that true value of population proportion of yellow peas lie between 0.23 and 0.30
