Question
In a breeding experiment, chicken with white feathers, small comb were mated and the offspring categories white feathers, small comb (WS), white feathers. large comb (WL), dark feathers, small comb (DS) and dark feathers, large comb (DL) were expected to follow the ratio 9:3:3:1 the researcher observed that there were 100 WS, 32 WL, 40 DS and 20 DL offspring. In order to test if the observed frequencies follow the expected ratio, what should be the hull hypothesis?
A. P(WS) = 100/192, P(WL) = 32/192, P(DS) = 40/192 , P(DL) = 20/192

C. P(WS) = 9/16 , P(WL) = 3/16, P(DS) = 3/16, P(DL) = 1/16

- In snapdragons, variation in flower color is determined by a single gene (Hartl and Jones 2005). RR individuals are red, Rr (heterozygous) individuals are pink, and rr individuals are white. In a cross between heterozygous individuals, the expected ratio of red-flowered:pink-flowered:white-flowered offspring is 1:2:1. a. The results of such a cross were 10 red-, 21 pink-, and 9 white-flowered offspring. Do these results differ significantly (at a 5% level) from the expected frequencies? b. In another, larger experiment, you count 100 times as many flowers as in the experiment in part (a) and get 1000 red, 2100 pink, and 900 white. Do these results differ significantly from the expected 1:2:1 ratio? c. Do the proportions observed in the two experiments [i.e., in parts (a) and (b)] differ? Did the results of the two hypothesis tests differ?

It is considered fact that fish from the region will be safe to eat if, and only if, the mean naphthalene level in the region is less than 3.3 parts per billion. A set of water specimens will be randomly selected from the region and tested, and if the results provide convinving evidence that the mean naphthalene level is less than 3.3, then the sale of fish from the region will be made legal. Which of the following describes a Type I error and its consequences? A) the authorities fail to obtain convincing evidence that the mean naphthalene level is less than 3.3, and do not legalize the sale of fish from the region when in fact the fish are SAFE for consumption.

- In a study comparing banks in two countries, a sample of 142 matched pairs of banks was formed. Each pair contained one bank from country x and one from country y. The pairings were made in such a way that the two members were as similar as possible in regard to such factors as size and age. The ratio of total loans outstanding to total assets was calculated for each of the banks. For this ratio, the sample mean difference (country x - country y) was 0.0579, and the sample standard deviation of the differences was 0.3086.

Suppose that an experiment is designed to compare differences in mean surface hardness of steel plates used in intaglio printing (measured in indentation numbers), based on two different surface conditions-untreated and treated by lightly polishing with emery paper. In the experiment, 40 steel plates are randomly assigned-20 that are untreated, and 20 that are treated. The results of the experiment are in the “Intaglio” data in Chapter 10_HW_Data.xls. Assuming that the population variances from both conditions are equal, is there evidence of a difference in the mean surface hardness between untreated and treated steel plates?
