In a human genome there are 6.4X109 basepairs and the mutation rate per generation per basepair is 1.8X10-8 basepairs. What is the expected number of new mutations (not carried by either of your parents) present in you? What is the probability that you contain 20 new mutations? Use Poisson distribution to solve.
Contingency Table
A contingency table can be defined as the visual representation of the relationship between two or more categorical variables that can be evaluated and registered. It is a categorical version of the scatterplot, which is used to investigate the linear relationship between two variables. A contingency table is indeed a type of frequency distribution table that displays two variables at the same time.
Binomial Distribution
Binomial is an algebraic expression of the sum or the difference of two terms. Before knowing about binomial distribution, we must know about the binomial theorem.
