Let's first calculate the probability of getting a green pea based on the sample provided in the image.

From the sample:
- Number of green peas = 372
- Number of yellow peas = 348
- Total number of peas = \( 372 + 348 = 720 \)

Now, the probability of getting a green pea is calculated as:
\[
P(\text{green pea}) = \frac{\text{Number of green peas}}{\text{Total number of peas}} = \frac{372}{720}
\]

Let's compute this:

\[
P(\text{green pea}) = \frac{372}{720} \approx 0.517
\]

The expected probability from the question is \( \frac{3}{4} = 0.75 \). Now we check if 0.517 is reasonably close to 0.75.

Since 0.517 is quite a bit lower than 0.75, we would conclude that **No, it is not reasonably close**.

### Answers:
1. The probability of getting a green pea is approximately **0.517**.
2. **Option B**: No, it is not reasonably close.

1. How would the probability change if the number of yellow peas increased by 50?
2. How do you determine if a probability is "reasonably close" in general?
3. What are the chances of getting a yellow pea based on the same data?
4. If the sample size increased to 1,000 peas, what would the expected number of green peas be if the probability remained the same?
5. How is probability applied in real-world genetics experiments?

**Tip**: When comparing probabilities, it's useful to check the absolute difference between the expected value and the observed value to determine how close they are.

In a genetics experiment on peas, one sample of offspring contained 372 green peas and 348 yellow peas. Based on those results, estimate the probability of getting an offspring pea that is green. Is the result reasonably close to the value of 3/4 that was expected?

Estimate the probability of getting a green pea based on a genetics experiment with 372 green peas and 348 yellow peas. This solution calculates P(green pea) and checks if it is reasonably close to 3/4. Suitable for students in Grades 9-11 learning about probability and ratios.
