1. Mendel generated 580 offspring peas. He claimed that 75%,or 435, of them would have green pods. The actual experiment resulted in 428 peas with green pods.
a) Assuming that groups of 580 offspring peas are generated, find the mean and standard deviation for the number of peas with green pods.
b) Use the range of thumb to find the minimum usual number and the maximum usual number of peas with green pods. Based on those numbers, can we conclude that Mendel's actual result of 428 peas with green pods is unusual? Does this suggest that Mendel's value of 75%is wrong?
