Question

The Dracula gene makes mice active at night and only consume blood instead of normal food.  You cross a normal black mouse with a vampire mouse. The first generation are all black, but then you cross F1 mice together and collect all the litters. You find that the F2 generation has 138 black mice, and 62 vampire mice.

Your boss tells you that her working theory is that this is a case of simple dominance and asks you to perform a chi squared test to determine whether her hypothesis is correct. If she is correct, she expected 150 black, and 50 vampire mice. What is the chi squared value? the value is 3.84 

Now the question is 

She decides that as long as there is greater than a 50% chance her theory is correct, she will publish the results. Based on your calculations, should she publish this study?  would it be(yes or no)
