Introduction:
Mean is a model of a given data set. It is the value that is the most common in a given set. Mean or average of a sample is calculated by summing all the values in the sample and dividing them by the total number of individuals in the sample (n). Variance is a numerical measure of the spread of the distribution around the mean. This is calculated to determine how much variation exists among individuals in the sample. It is calculated by summing the square of the difference between each individual value and the sample mean and dividing that sum by the number of degrees of freedom in the sample. Standard deviation describes the distribution of data. It is calculated as square root of variance.

GENETIC ANALYSIS: AN INTEG. APP. W/MAS
- Discuss five factors that influence Hardy-Weinberg proportions.arrow_forwardFind the ratio for these punnet squares.arrow_forwardA friend breeds giant racing Rhosgobel rabbits. She is seeking your advice on how to breed faster rabbits. As per your request, she compared the mid-parent and mid-offspring running speeds. Look at the graph to the below, which of the following statements provides accurate information to your friend. 16 y = 0.0453x + 8.3165 R2 = 0.0028 14 12 10 10 15 20 Midoffspring running speed (m/s) O a. The slower rabbits will produce faster offspring than the faster rabbits in the current generation. O b.If your friend selectively breeds her fastest rabbits, you expect the next generation to be significantly faster. OC. The best way to increase running speed in the next generation would be to alter the environment, maybe increasing nutrient density of the food. O d. There is a higher degree of heritability in other populations of Rhosgobel rabbits. Midparent running speed (s/w)arrow_forward
- Draw a graph of V0 vs. [S] (Michaelis-Menten plot) for these data. Put both sets of data on the one graph, use a different symbol of each plot and indicate which set of data is which. Make sure your graph has appropriate axis labels and units. You do not need to insert trend lines (as there is no rectangular hyperbola trendline in EXCEL).arrow_forwardI'm needing help with part 1 through 3, please The data of Sugar Water and Plain Water: mean # of drops variance degrees of freedom t stat t crit (from the table) plain water 25.3 17.221 38 -4.01 2.0261 sugar water 21.3 21.256 1. Make a statement about t stat in relation to t crit. And what is the p-value? 2. Is there a statistically significant difference between the mean values (mean # of drops) of the sugar and plain water? Give your "yes" or "no" answer and the supporting evidence. 3. Hypothesis: The surface tension of plain water is higher than the surface tension of sugar water. Do these results support or refute the hypothesis about the effect of dissolving salt in water on surface tension?arrow_forwardBody weight and length were measured on six mosquito fish; these measurements are given in the following table. Calculate the correlation coefficient for weight and length in these fish. Wet weight (g) Length (mm) 115 18 130 19 210 22 110 17 140 20 185 21arrow_forward
- How would you calculate the expected values from the observed in order to use the chi-squared test?arrow_forwardWhat value of [S], as a fraction of KM, is required to obtain 80% of Vmax? (Hint: use the MM equation, and algebra.) Express your answer as the fraction/multiple of KM needed, for example, if your answer is 2.75 times KM, then enter "2.75" or if your answer is 1/2 times KM, then enter "1/2" or "5" Don't include "x" or "times" just the number.arrow_forwardThe mean weight of loaves of bread produced at the bakery where you work is supposed to be 1 pound. You are the supervisor of quality control at the bakery, and you are concerned that new employees are producing loaves that are too light. Suppose you weigh an SRS of bread loaves and find that the mean weight is 0.975 pound. What are the appropriate hypotheses for performing this significance test? Ho : x = 1; H. : x < 1 where i = the sample mean weight (in pounds) of bread loaves produced at the bakery. Ho : u = 1; H. : µ < 1 where u = the true mean weight (in pounds) of bread loaves produced at the bakery. Ho : µ < 1; H, : H = 1 where u = the true mean weight (in pounds) of bread loaves produced at the bakery. Ho : u = 1; H. : p = 0.975 where u= the true mean weight (in pounds) of bread loaves produced at the bakery. Ho : u = 1; H. : u # 1 where u= the true mean weight (in pounds) of bread loaves produced at the bakery.arrow_forward
- Using the data below, calculate the correlation: covariance -0.9 standard deviation(x) = 10.5 standard deviation(y) = 10.4 (calculate to 2 significant figures)arrow_forwardCompare the 95% confidence interval for the difference between two true means with the 95% confidence interval for an individual true kean. Describe one way in which these two equations are similar and state four ways in which these equations differ.arrow_forwardWhat are the x and y values that you have input in the excel? I thought the x would be from the concentation and the y is from the A595 of sample minus A595 of blank but the linear equation that shows up in mine is different. It's y = 0.0443x + 0.0148.arrow_forward
