Suppose that you are interested in estimating a population mean. You select a random sample of items, and compute the sample mean and the sample standard deviation.
You then compute a 95% confidence interval to be LCL=28.4 - UCL=37.9.
So what does that mean?
It means that you are 95% confident that the unknown population mean that you are estimating is between the LCL and UCL.
So what does that mean?
It means that if you were to iterate this sampling process many times, say 100, and calculate 100 confidence intervals, then 95 of those intervals will contain the unknown population mean, and 5 will not.
Give me an example of how CI can be used in your work.

Use the Hardy–Weinberg principle to solve problems involving populations.

- Suppose that a certain population of salamanders shows (by electrophoretic analysis) genetic variation for a certain enzyme, and that the enzyme appears to be coded by a single gene with two alleles (Ef, Es). Also suppose that the frequency of the two alleles in the population are estimated as p = frequency of Ef = 0.60, q = frequency of Es = 0. 40. Assuming that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (i.e., all the assumptions of the Hardy-Weinberg model are met), estimate the expected frequency of all possible genotypes in the population.arrow_forwardIn a given population on a distant planet, there are 20 red, 25 orange, and 15 yellow creatures. Use Hardy-Weinberg equations and a chi square analysis to determine whether or not this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Show all work. Be sure to state a null hypothesis and explain your conclusion.arrow_forwardThe calculated chi-square value which is 0 is less than the critical value which is 5.991 (under the degree of freedom 2). What is the probability of the computed chi-square value? And is it part of the population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?arrow_forward
- A hypothetical population of 10,000 humans has 6840 individuals with the blood type AA, 2860 individuals with blood type AB and 300 individuals with the blood type BB. If the next generation contained 25,000 individuals, how may individuals would have BB blood type, assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

- Please explain why is it important to identify the carriers in a population for a rare allele to decrease the prevalence of the disease in the population by using the graph. Answer it by assuming that population is at Hardy Weinberg equilibrium.arrow_forwardAssume that the frequency of gene B in a hypothetical population Is 0.63, that there are only two alleles (B and b) of the gee in the population, that allele B is dominant over allele b, that neither allele has a selective advantage over the other, and that the population is at equilibrium with regard to this particular gene. What is the expected frequency of the b allele in this population, based upon the Hardy-Weinberg formula? A. 0.29 B. 0.14 C.0.21 D.0.40 E.0.37arrow_forwardConsider a finite population in which individuals carry two alleles at a particular genetic locus. One of the two alleles is currently at a frequency of 0.42 in the population. If the locus is neutral, such that neither allele confers a fitness advantage, what is the probability that this allele is eventually lost from the population?arrow_forward
