When a scientist conducted a genetics experiments with peas, one sample of offspring consisted of 905 peas, with 706 of them having red flowers. If we assume, as the scientist did, that under these circumstances, there is a 3 divided by 4 probability that a pea will have a red flower, we would expect that 678.75 (or about 679) of the peas would have red flowers, so the result of 706 peas with red flowers is more than expected. a. If the scientist's assumed probability is correct, find the probability of getting 706 or more peas with red flowers. If the scientist's assumed probability is correct, the probability of getting 706 or more peas with red flowers is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
