4. a) The theory predicts the proportion of beans, in the four groups A, B, C and D should
be 9:3:3:1. In an experiment among 1600 beans, the numbers in the four groups were
882,313, 287 and 118. Does the experimental result support the theory? (The table
value of
2

proposal. Enumerate the criteria for evaluating the Research proposal. (20)
