2. One of Gregor Mendel’s famous hybridization experiments with peas yielded 580 offspring with 152 of those peas (or 26%) having yellow pods. According to Mendel’s theory, 25% of the offspring peas should have yellow pods. Do the results of the experiment differ from Mendel’s claimed rate of 25% by an amount that is statistically significant? Why or why not?

A)No, because it is unlikely for the results to occur again.

B)No, because the difference does not appear to be significant.

C)Yes, because the difference does not appear to be significant.

D)Yes, because the difference is not large enough for such a large sample.

Answer:

B)No, because the difference does not appear to be significant.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

One of Gregor Mendel’s famous hybridization experiments with peas yielded 580 offspring with 152 of those peas (or 26%) having yellow pods

While Mendel's theory says

25% of the offspring peas should have yellow pods

we know that

25% is close to 26%

so, 26%-25%=1%

we can see that difference is not large or very significant

so, It does not differ much

No, because the difference does not appear to be significant
