Problem #1: Geneticists examined the distribution of seed coat color in cultivated amaranth grains, Amaranthus caudatus. Crossing black-seeded and pale-seeded A. caudatus populations gave the following counts of black, brown, and pale seeds in the second generation. Seed Coat Color black Seed Count 347 brown 82 pale 31 According to genetics laws, dominant epistasis should lead to 12 of all such seeds being black, brown, and 16 1 pale. We want to test this theory at the 5% significance level. (a) Find the value of the test statistic. (b) Fiind the critical value. (c) What is the conclusion? Problem #1(a): Problem #1(b): test statistic (correct to 3 decimals) critical value (correct to 3 decimals) (A) We cannot conclude that the observed frequencies contradict the theory since the answer is (a) is greater than the answer in (b). (B) We conclude that the theory is true since the answer in (a) is greater than the answer in (b). (C) We conclude that the data is consistent with the theory since the answer in (a) is greater than the answer in (b). (D) We conclude that the observed frequencies contradict the theory since the answer in (a) is less than or equal to the answer in (b). (E) We conclude that the observed frequencies contradict the theory since the answer in (a) is bigger than the answer in (b). (F) We cannot conclude that the observed frequencies contradict the theory since the answer in (a) is less than or equal to the answer in (b). (G) We conclude that the theory is true since the answer in (a) is less than or equal to the answer in (b). https://www.childsmath.ca/childsa/forms/2bStuff/onlineform_2.php?assign=6 /8/24, 2:18 PM Stats 2B03 Term 2 Assignment #6 Answer Sheet for User: parks160 Problem #1(c): Select conclusion Just Save Submit Problem #1 for Grading Problem #1 Attempt #1 Attempt #2 Attempt #3 Your Answer: 1(a) 1(a) 1(a) 1(b) 1(b) 1(b) 1(c) 1(c) 1(c) Your Mark: 1(a) 1(a) 1(a) 1(b) 1(b) 1(b) 1(c) 1(c) 1(c) 1/4 Problem #1: Geneticists examined the distribution of seed coat color in cultivated amaranth grains, Amaranthus caudatus.
