Chapter 4.3, Problem 4E

The gene for eye color in a certain male fruit fly has alleles ( R ,   W ) .

The gene for eye color in the mating female fruit fly also has alleles ( R ,   W ) .

Their offspring receive one allele for eye color from each parent. If an offspring ends up with either ( R , R ) , ( R ,   W ) , or ( W ,   R ) , its eyes will look red. Let X equal the number of offspring having red eyes. Let V equal the number of red-eyed offspring having ( R ,   W ) or ( W ,   R ) genes.

(a) If the total number of offspring is n   =   400 , how is X distributed?

(b) Give the values of E(X) and Var(X).

(c) that X   =   300 , how is Y distributed.

(d) Give the values of E (   Y | X   =   X ) and V a r ( Y | X   =   300 ) .
