Hi, I am confused on this problem.
In an experiment on chlorophyll inheritance in maize (corn), of the 1103 seedlings of self-fertilizaed green plants, 854 seedlings were green and 249 were yellow. Theory predicts the ratio of green to yellow is 3 to 1. Show all five steps of a test of the hypothesis that 3 to 1 is the true ratio. Interpret the P-value in context.
I am confused as to how to prove the ratio. In my other problems, we had to show the likelihood of a specific probablility of an event taking place and giving the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis. I know for this one, the first step is assuming that randomization took place and making sure we have a large sample size (> 15). I am confused as to determining what the null and alternative hypothesis are and in determining the probablility of the event happening in this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
