In a biology laboratory, students use corn to test the Mendelian theory of inheritance. The theory claims that frequencies of the four categories “smooth and yellow”, “wrinkled and yellow”, “smooth and purple”, and “wrinkled and purple” will occur in the ratio 9 : 3 : 3 : 1. If a student counted 124, 30, 43, and 11, respectively, for these four categories, would these data support the Mendelian theory? Let α = 0.05.
