In: Statistics and Probability
Mendelian genetics predict that in Labrador retrievers (a type of dog), 25% should have brown coat color if both parents are heterozygous (the rest are black). You mate two parents and get a litter of 8 puppies. Calculate the following:
a) The probability of 6 black puppies.
b) The probability of 3 brown puppies.
c) The probability that 50% of the puppies will be brown.
(Comment: You do not need to know anything about genetics to solve this problem. If you're trying to do things like use punnet squares, you're doing things wrong)
