Find the degrees of freedom. Degrees of freedom are equal to the number of groups minus 1. The degree of freedom is 1. The chi-square value is 0.37. Therefore, the probability lies between 0.50 and 0.70.
Probability is a percentage.
If the probability or p value is greater than 0.05, the hypothesis is accepted. Since the p value of Mendel's experiment is between 0.50 and 0.70, his hypothesis is accepted. 9.49 13.28 Hyothesis Accept Reject Table 2. Table of chi-square values. Mendel's hypothesis was the basis for his second law, the law of independent assortment.
