two f1 plants were crossed with each other and the f2 generation consisted of 860 tall plants with purple flowers; 285 dwarf, purple plants; 340 tall, pink plants; and 115 dwarf, pink plants (1600 total). a chi-square goodness-of-fit test is used to see if these data represent chance deviations from a 9:3:3:1 ratio. what will be the calculated chi-square value and what will be the degrees of freedom used to interpret the chi-square?

Respuesta :

According to the given statement the chi-square value in the test of this hypothesis is  10.111.

The correct option is C.

What is chi-square value?

The chi-square statistic contrasts the actual values with what was anticipated. The discrepancy between the values observed and expected is tested using this test statistic to see if it is statistically significant.

According to the given data:

Tall and purple flower observed valve = 860

Dwarf and purple flower observed valve  = 285

Tall and pink flower observed valve = 340

Dwarf and pink flower observed valve = 115

Total no. of flower = 860 + 285 + 340 + 115

                              = 1600

The ratio given is 9: 3: 3: 1

Expected no. for Tall and purple = 100(9/16) = 900

Expected no. for Dwarf and purple = 1600(3/16) = 300

Expected no. for Tall and pink   = 1600(3/16) = 300

Expected no. for Dwarf and pink = 1600(1/16) = 100

chi-square value  = ∑ (objered value - expected value)² /Expected value

                        = [tex]\begin{aligned}\frac{(860-900)^2}{900}+\frac{(285-300)^2}{300}+\frac{(340-300)^2}{300} +\frac{(115-100)^2}{100}\end{aligned}[/tex]

                         = 1.778 + 0.75 + 5.333 + 2.25

                         = 10.111

The value is 10.111
