If the probability of an A in the 20th position in ribosomal 5S RNA is .79, then

Question:

If the probability of an A in the 20th position in ribosomal 5S RNA is .79, then test the hypothesis that the new sequence is the same as ribosomal 5S RNA using the critical-value method?


Genetics

Ribosomal 5S RNA can be represented as a sequence of 120 nucleotides. Each nucleotide can be represented by one of four characters: A (adenine), G (guanine), C (cytosine), or U (uracil). The characters occur with different probabilities for each position. We wish to test whether a new sequence is the same as ribosomal 5S RNA. For this purpose, we replicate the new sequence 100 times and find there are 60 A’s in the 20th position.
