What are the Hardy Weinberg equations
Genotypic freq.–> (p^2+2pq+q^2=1)
Allele freq.–>(p+q=1)
What must you always find first in Hardy Weinberg equations?
always find q^2 first
what does p stand for
Dominant allele freq.
what does q stand for
recessive allele freq.
what does pq stand for
hetero gentotype freq.
what does p^2 stand for
homo dominant genotype freq
what does q^2 stand for
homo recessive genotype freq
What is a Null hypothesis
the hypothesis that says there is no significant difference between specified populations.
(the experiment showed no affect)
When do you use the T-test
when comparing the means of two nominal variables
what is a nominal variable
variables that can be categorized into distinct categories
what does the t-test show you
gives objective measure whether or not the 2 populations are statistically different, by comparing how much the values overlap
what is the P-value
a measure of probability that differences between the means of 2 populations are due to random chance
what is the range of the p value
(0-1) can never be zero
how do we know if a p value is significant
if the p value is more than .05 then it is statistically significant
when do we use a two-tailed t test
testing to see if the mean is above or below x
