Mr. Mendel likes breeding different flowers in his garden. He noticed that when he breeds a white flower with a purple flower, most of the offspring are purple. To check that, he bred them again and obtained18

of them were purple.

Let's test the hypothesis thatthe offspring have equal chances of50\%

of being either white or purpleversus the alternative that the chance of a purple offspring isgreater.

Let's agree that if the observed outcome has a probabilitylessthan1\%

under the tested hypothesis, we will reject the hypothesis.

What should we conclude regarding the hypothesis?
