Scientist Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) is often called the “father of modem genetics� and is famous for his work involving the inheritance of certain traits in pea plants. Suppose that the genes controlling the color of peas are

Suppose that in Example 2.27, 400 units of food A, 500 units of B, and 600 units of C are placed in the test tube each day and the data on daily food consumption by the bacteria (in units per day) are as shown in Table 2.7.

- The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System tracks injuries reported from hospital admissions across the United States (Consumer Product Safety Commission 2018). For the data in 2017, we extracted all incidences of hand injuries that referenced punching a wall. There were 1843 such cases. The surveillance system also records some of the properties of the patients, including gender. Of all cases where a person was admitted to a hospital for injuries from punching a wall, 1352 were recorded as male and 491 were recorded as female. a. Do an appropriate hypothesis test to ask whether the proportion of males among wall-punchers is 50%.arrow_forwardIn a certain city, only 2 newspapers A and B are published. It is known that 25% of the city population read A and 20% read B while 8% reads both A and B.
