Assume you are studying some species of flower that comes in three different colors: red,

pink, and white. You know that color is determined by a single locus with two alleles with

incomplete dominance. You count 124 red flowers, 62 pink flowers, and 30 white flowers. What

are the allele frequencies and is the population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Calculate the χ2 test statistic and p-value.
