A population of wild-flowers was scored for flower color. There were 409 blue (BB) plants, 1651 violet (BR) plants and 745 red (RR) plants.
A chi-square test was conducted to test the hypothesis that the population genotypic frequencies are consistent with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium frequencies.
Fill in the spaces below with the expected numbers for each phenotypic (genotypic) class in the chi-square test.
1. What is the expected number of blue (BB) plants?
2. What is the expected number of violet (BR) plants? Please round your answer correctly to 4 decimal digits.
3. What is the expected number of red(RR) plants? Please round your answer correctly to 4 decimal digits.
4. Keeping all decimal digits during your calculations and rounding your answer to 3 decimal digits, what is the calculated chi-square value?
Solution
Null hypothesis: The observed values are not deviating from the expected ratio.

Inference: The calculated X2 values is greater than the table value i.e. 5.99 at 2 Df and 0.05 probability. Hence null hypothesis rejected.
1. What is the expected number of blue (BB) plants? 701.2
2. What is the expected number of violet (BR) plants? 1402.5
3. What is the expected number of red(RR) plants? 701.2
4. Keeping all decimal digits during your calculations and rounding your answer to 3 decimal digits, what is the calculated chi-square value? 168
