Another genetic Problem

[Alexander22]

After Jack helped me through one problem, i have found this tough one.

Its the hardest of the lot i think, I am learning abit at a time and i thank you again jack for the previous help

A purple-flowered sweet pea was self-pollinated and gives rise to a progeny consisting of 183 purple and 137 white flowered plants. Explain these results using statistical analysis to support your conclusions.

well, 183/137 is 1.34, that is 4/3. Try to think about it...
