When Mendel conducted his famous genetics experiments with peas, one sample of offspring consisted of 705 peas with red flowers and 224 peas with white flowers. Find the upper limit of 99% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of peas with red flowers.
Added by Francisco Javier F.
Step 1
To do this, we divide the number of peas with red flowers by the total number of peas. \[ \text{Sample proportion} = \frac{705}{705 + 224} = \frac{705}{929} \approx 0.759 \] Show more…

When Mendel conducted his famous genetics experiments with peas, one sample of offspring consisted of 705 peas with red flowers and 224 peas with white flowers. (a) What is the margin of error at 99% confidence level for estimating the percentage of peas with red flowers. (b) Find the upper limit of 99% confidence interval estimate for the percentage of peas with red flowers.

When Mendel conducted his famous genetics experiments with peas, one sample of offspring consisted of 428 green peas and 152 yellow peas. Find the confidence interval for the true proportion of all yellow peas if the confidence level is 95%.
A genetic experiment with peas resulted in one sample of offspring that consisted of 448 green peas and 169 yellow peas. Construct a 95% confidence interval. Express the percentages in decimal form.
