chi square question for biology

Chi Square

Consider the scenario where one parent is type AB blood and the other parent is heterozygous for type B blood. A sample of 150 couples collectively produced a total of 38 children with type A blood, 117 children with type B blood, and 38 children with type AB blood. 

  1. Determine the expected ratio of blood types for offspring produced by the above cross.
  2. Calculate a chi-square value for this example in the space below. 
  3. Could the difference in the actual outcome relative to the expected ratio be due to chance variation or is it a result of some other factor? 
  4. What conclusion(s) could you draw from the data? 

Studies show that the following are the approximate frequencies of the various ABO blood types in the U.S.: 39% A, 12% B, 4% AB, and 45% O. Do the data given in the following table represent a satisfactory sample of the U.S. population? Complete Table 6, calculate the X2, and answer the questions based on your calculations. Calculate E values to the nearest one-hundredth (0.01).
