The Advanced Placement Biology class at Mount Pearl Senior High School conducted genetics experiments with fruit flies, and the results in the following table are based on the results that they obtained. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the observed frequencies agree with the proportions that were expected according to principles of genetics.

Conduct the hypothesis test and provide the test statistic, critical value and or P-value, and state the conclusion.
