Answer to Question #41338 in Statistics and Probability for Marwa

Question

Genetic theory predicts that, in the second generation of a cross of sweet pea plants, blossoms will be either red or white, with each plant independently having a 3/4 chance of producing red blossoms.
Out of 15 plants selected at random from the second generation of this cross, let X be the number that have red blossoms.
(a) What is the probability distribution of X?
(b) Calculate:
(i) the mean and standard deviation of X. (ii) P(X>9) [2] (iii) P(8≤X≤12)
(c) If fewer than 6 of the 15 plants were red, would this be an unusual sample? Justify your answer.
