Question

Assume that hybridization experiments are conducted with peas having the property that for offspring, there is a 0.25 probability that a pea has green pods. Assume that the offspring peas are randomly selected in groups of 40.

Answer 1

Answer: P(X = 10) = (40C10) * (0.25)^10 * (1 - 0.25)^(40 - 10)

Using a calculator or statistical software, you can compute this value to find the exact probability. Similarly, you can calculate other probabilities for different values of k using the appropriate formulas.
