Mendelian Genetics---genetic experiments with peas, one sampleof offspring consisted of 428 green peas and 152 yellow peas. basedon those results, estimate the probability of getting an offspringpea that is green. Is the result reasonably close to the expectedvalue of 3/4, as claimed by mendel? Please help by showing method used to obtain theprobability.

Explanation / Answer
The total in the sample space denoted by n(S) is 428. Thetotal number of events denoted by n(E) is 428+152=580. We can then calculate the probability by n(S)/n(P) which givesus 107/145 = .738
