question 54

Short Answer

You have self-fertilized a plant with round seeds that is heterozygous, and you want to determine what proportion of the offspring will be not only dominant, but also true-breeding. Which of the rules of probability can be used to calculate the probability of obtaining a particular outcome when specific information about that outcome modifies the probability calculation?

Definitions:

Null Hypothesis

A hypothesis used in statistics that proposes no statistical significance exists in a set of given observations.

Level Of Significance

The threshold below which a p-value must fall for an effect or difference to be considered statistically significant in hypothesis testing.

P-Values

The probability of observing a statistical summary (e.g., difference in means) as extreme as, or more extreme than, the observed results under the null hypothesis.

P-Value

The probability of obtaining test results at least as extreme as the results actually observed, under the assumption that the null hypothesis is correct.
