Chapter 1, Problem 14RQ

Possible equations to use: PID,] = 1- (PBa + 3/4 Pab + 1/2Pbb)" !3! log (1-PID,) log (Pa8 + 3/4 P8b+ 1/2Pbb) n = 8. A breeder is concerned that his best purebred Angus bull may be a carrier for Curly Calf Syndrome. He decides to conduct some test matings by taking this bull and mating him to 15 of the bulls own daughters to determine if he is a possible carrier of this and any other undesirable recessive genes. Show your work. a. How sure would we be that he is not a carrier if all the calves are born normal? b. How many would you need to be 99% sure he was not a carrier?

If one is testing a goodness of fit to a 9:3:3:1 ratio, how many degrees of freedom would be associated with the Chi-square analysis?

Calculate the Variance of the following data set: 10, 15, 13, 12, 14
