Question

For a given disease gene, specified mode of inheritance and observed data set, if the p-value for a chi-square goodness of fit analysis is 0.98, and the significance level is 0.001, then we:

a) make no decision

b) accept the null hypothesis that the disease almost certainly follows the specified mode of inheritance at the given gene.

c) reject the null hypothesis at the 0.0001 level.

d) reject the null hypothesis that the disease follows the specified mode of inheritance at the given gene.

e) reject the null hypothesis that the disease does not follow the specified mode of inheritance at the given gene.

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the value that occurs most frequently in a data set. A data set may have more than one mode if multiple categories repeat an equal number of times. For example, in a data set with five item—3, 5, 5, 29, 473—the mode is 5 because it occurs twice and no other value occurs more than once. On a histogram or bar chart, the element with the highest bar represents the mode. Therefore, the mode is sometimes considered the most popular option. The mode is useful for nominal or categorical data (e.g., the most common color car that users purchase), but it is problematic for continuous data because it is more likely not to have any value that is more frequent than the other.
