From a presumed testcross B/b x b/b, in which B = green and b = orange, use the chi-square test to estimate whether an outcome of 180 green, 160 orange fits the expectations

Ans:
The calculated chi-square value 1.176 is much less than the table value 3.841 at 1 DF (5% probability level). The deviation between observed and expected value is not significant. So, the assumed hypothesis 1:1 is good fit. It is a Mendel monohybrid test cross ratio.
