Your friend's hamster recently had a huge litter of pups. You count 35 golden, 12 dark gray, 10
cinnamon, and 4 lilac pups. Conduct a chi-square test for a 9:3:3:1 ratio.
a) How many homozygous recessive progeny do you expect given your hypothesis? Use 2
decimal places in your answer.
b) What is your Chi-square value? Calculate a Chi-square value using 2 decimal places in your
Expected categories (although IRL there aren't fractions of a hamster). Answer with 2 decimal
places.
c) How many degrees of freedom do you have?
d) Do you accept that the observations are compatible with the hypothesis that the family is
segregating in a 9:3:3:1 phenotypic segregation ratio?
