Gregor Mendel (1822-1884), an Austrian monk, is considered the father of genetics. Mendel studied the inheritance of various traits in pea plants. One such trait is whether the pea is smooth or wrinkled. Mendel predicted a ratio of 3smooth peas for every 1wrinkled pea. In one experiment, he observed 423smooth and 133wrinkled peas. Assume that the conditions for inference are met.

a. . State appropriate hypotheses for testing Mendel鈥檚 claim about the true proportion of smooth peas.

b. Calculate the standardized test statistic and P-value.

c. Interpret the P-value. What conclusion would you make?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part a. The appropriate hypotheses for the true proportion of the smooth peas described by the Mendel are:

The null hypothesis: H0:p1=0.75

The alternate hypothesis: Ha:p10.75

Part b. The p-valuevalue and standardized test statistics are 0.25,0.3453respectively.

Part c. P-value is greater than the significance level that means fail to reject null hypothesis.

Step by step solution

01

Part a. Step 1. 

Predicted value: there is ratio of 3smooth peas for every 3wrinkled pea

Observed value: 3smooth and wrinkled peas

02

Part a. Step 2. Explanation

The proportions are equal to the mentioned probabilities by the Mendel is stated by the null hypothesis:

H0:p1=33+1=0.75p2=1-p1=1-0.75=0.25

or H0:p1=0.75

Exactly opposite to the null hypothesis is stated by the alternate hypothesis:

Ha:atleastp1isincorrectHa:p10.75

Hence, null hypothesis and alternate hypothesis are stated above.

03

Part b. Step 1. Given information

p1=0.75p2=0.25O1=423O2=133=0.05

04

Part b. Step 2. Explanation

The sample size two categories(c)is: n=O1+O2=423+139=556

For the first distribution:

n=556p1=0.75O1=423

Expected frequency is given by:

E1=np1=5560.75=417

The chi-square subtotal is given by:

X2sub1=(O1-E1)2E1=(423-417)2417=0.0863

For the second distribution:

n=556p2=0.25O2=133

Expected frequency is given by:

E2=np2=5560.25=139

The chi-square subtotal is given by:

X2sub2=(O2-E2)2E2=(133-139)2139=0.259

The value of the test-statistics is sum of all chi-square subtotals:

X2=X2sub1+X2sub2=0.0863+0.259=0.3453

Now the degree of the freedom of the experiment is the number of categories decreased by 1.

df=c-1=2-1=1

From the table containing the X2 -value in the row df=1,theP-valueis:

P>0.25

By using the chi-square subtotals, value of the test-statistics is estimated.

05

Part c. Step 1. Explanation

From the answer of above part:

P>0.25

If the P-value is less than or equal to the significance level then the null hypothesis is rejected.

P>0.25>0.05

And here the P-value is greater than the significance level that means fail to reject null hypothesis.

As fail to reject the null hypothesis H0which clearly represents that there are no sufficient evidences are provided to reject the null hypothesis or to reject the claim described by the Mendel.

Hence, the null hypothesis H0is not rejected.

b. What conclusion would you make at the =0.10 significance level? Would

your conclusion change if you used =0.05 instead? Explain your reasoning.

c. Determine the value of p= the sample proportion of successes.

After once again losing a football game to the archrival, a college鈥檚 alumni association conducted a survey to see if alumni were in favor of firing the coach. An SRS of 100 alumni from the population of all living alumni was taken, and 64 of the alumni in the sample were in favor of firing the coach. Suppose you wish to see if a majority of all living alumni is in favor of firing the coach. The appropriate standardized test statistic is

(a)z=0.64-0.50.64(0.36)100z=0.64-0.50.64(0.36)100

role="math" localid="1654432946823" (b)t=0.64-0.50.64(0.36)100t=0.64-0.50.64(0.36)100

(c)z=0.64-0.50.5(0.5)100z=0.64-0.50.5(0.5)100

(e)z=0.5-0.640.5(0.5)100z=0.5-0.640.5(0.5)100

Which of the following is not a condition for performing a significance test about an unknown population proportion p?

(a) The data should come from a random sample or randomized experiment.

(b) Individual measurements should be independent of one another.

(c) The population distribution should be approximately Normal, unless the sample size is large.

(d) Both np and n(1 - p) should be at least 10.

(e) If you are sampling without replacement from a finite population, then you should sample no more than 10% of the population.
