Are the data consistent with the model? Answer yea or no?

One kind of plant has only blue flowers and white flowers. According to a genetic mode, the offsprings of a certain cross have a 75% chance to be blue-flowering, and a 25% chance to be white flowering, independently o one another. Two hundred seeds of such a cross are raised and 142 turn out to be blue-flowering

Are the data consistent with the model? Answer yea or no?
Unless you need to show statistical significance, the easy way to do this is to look at the % of your results.



Probabilility says that 75% (3/4) will have blue flowers.



To figure out if you're in that general area, divide the 142 blue-flowered offspring by the total number of offspring - 142/200.



(bettter to know how to figure this out yourself, than to just be given an answer - no one will be there to help you on your tests!)
