Thirty different sets of 1 million base pairs are measured, and the average number of mutations per million is found to be 13.5. Estimate the standard deviation, and find the standard error of the mean and the 99% confidence limits.
Mutations are counted in a large section of the genome. This count finds 14 mutations in one set of 1 million base pairs. Then 30 different sets of 1 million base pairs are measured, and the average number of mutations per million is found to be 13.5.
