Question

Genetic theory predicts that seeds of a certain variety of flower will produce magenta, chartreuse and ochre flowers in the ratios 6:3:1, with one flower per seed. A randomly selected sample of seeds was planted, and all germinated, yielding 52 magenta, 36 chartreuse and 12 ochre flowers. Use an appropriate hypothesis test, with a 10% significance level, to investigate whether the observed colour ratios are consistent with those predicted.
