Fruit flies Biologists wish to mate pairs of fruit flies having genetic makeup RrCc, indicating that each has one dominant gene (R) and one recessive gene (r) for eye color, along with one dominant (C) and one recessive (c) gene for wing type. Each offspring will receive one gene for each of the two traits from each parent, so the biologists predict that the following phenotypes should occur in a ratio of 9:3:3:1:

Assume that the conditions for inference are met. Carry out a test at the =0.05 significance level of the proposed genetic model.

Short Answer

Expert verified

P exceeds the significance level, indicating that H0 is not rejected. As a result, the phenotypes occur in the following proportions: 9:3:3:1

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Significance level: 5%=0.05

Ratio: R1:R2:W1:W2=9:3:3:1

n=4

02

Concept

Null hypothesis: H0

The null hypothesis is rejected when the value of P is less or equal to the significance level.

03

Calculation

The null hypothesis: H0

The phenotype occur in a ratio of 9:3:3:1

Alternative hypothesis: H1

The phenotype does not occur in a ratio of 9:3:3:1

Now,

Take the sum: S=9+3+3+1=16

Create a table with the observed and expected values:

The expected value is calculated as:

E1=TR1R=200916=112.5E2=TR2R=200316=37.5E3=TW1R=200316=37.5E4=TW2R=200116=12.5

Now, use the test 鈭抯tatistics:

x2=i=14(OiEi)2Eix2=(99112.5)2112.5+(4237.5)237.5+(4937.5)237.5+(1012.5)212.5x2=6.1867

Degree of freedom:

df=n1=41=3

For x2=6.1867and df=3the P-value is 0.1029

So, the null hypothesis is not rejected when the value of P is not less or equal to the significance level.

P>:0.1029>0.05: fail to reject H0

Hence,

The phenotypes occurs in the given ratio 9:3:3:1

Therefore, theP>:0.1029>0.05

Recent revenue shortfalls in a midwestern state led to a reduction in the state budget for higher education. To offset the reduction, the largest state university proposed a 25%tuition increase. It was determined that such an increase was needed simply to compensate for the lost support from the state. Separate random samples of 50freshmen, 50sophomores, 50juniors, and 50seniors from the university were asked whether they were strongly opposed to the increase, given that it was the minimum increase necessary to maintain the university's budget at current levels. Here are the results:

Which null hypothesis would be appropriate for performing a chi-square test?

a. The closer students get to graduation, the less likely they are to be opposed to tuition increases.

b. The mean number of students who are strongly opposed is the same for each of the 4years.

c. The distribution of student opinion about the proposed tuition increase is the same for each of the 4years at this university.

d. Year in school and student opinion about the tuition increase are independent in the sample.

e. There is an association between year in school and opinion about the tuition increase at this university.

c. Calculate the value of the chi-square test statistic.

All current-carrying wires produce electromagnetic (EM) radiation, including the electrical wiring running into, through, and out of our homes. High-frequency EM radiation is thought to be a cause of cancer. The lower frequencies associated with household current are generally assumed to be harmless. To investigate the relationship between current configuration and type of cancer, researchers visited the addresses of a random sample of children who had died of some form of cancer (leukemia, lymphoma, or some other type) and classified the wiring configuration outside the dwelling as either a high-current configuration (HCC) or a low-current configuration (LCC). Here are the data:

Computer software was used to analyze the data. The output included the value X2=0.435

Which of the following is the appropriate degrees of freedom for the X2test?

a. 1

b. 2

c. 3

d. 4

e. 5

Seagulls by the seashore Do seagulls show a preference for where they land? To answer this question, biologists conducted a study in an enclosed outdoor space with a piece of shore whose area was made up of 56% sand, 29% mud, and 15% rocks. The biologists chose 200 seagulls at random. Each seagull was released into the outdoor space on its own and observed until it landed somewhere on the piece of shore. In all, 128 seagulls landed on the sand, 61 landed in the mud, and 11 landed on the rocks.

a. Do these data provide convincing evidence that seagulls show a preference for where they land?

b. Relative to the proportion of each ground type on the shore, which type of ground do the seagulls seem to prefer the most? The least?

When analyzing survey results from a two-way table, the main distinction between a test for independence and a test for homogeneity is

a. how the degrees of freedom are calculated.

b. how the expected counts are calculated.

c. the number of samples obtained.

d. the number of rows in the two-way table.

e. the number of columns in the two-way table.
