Two pea plants are crossed. One is homozygous for white flowers and the other is heterozygous for purple flowers. Both are heterozygous for being tall plants. In pea plants, tall is dominant to short, and purple flowers are dominant to white.

Fill out the table below for the probability of each possible phenotype. Report probability as a decimal rounded to four places (e.g. 0.1250, not 1/8 or 12.5%).

Phenotype Probability
tall purple
short purple
tall white
short white

In a population of 150 pea plants, there are 50 tall-purple plants, 18 short-purple plants, 62 tall-white plants, and 20 short-white plants. In order to test if the two traits are experiencing independent assortment researchers would perform a chi squared test.

1.) The (null/alternative)  hypothesis states that the two genes are independently assorted while the (null/alternative)  hypothesis states the two genes are dependent.

2.) What is your calculated Chi Squared statistic?

  • When performing a contingency table, do not round your expected values!!
  • Report your calculated X2 rounded to four decimal places

3.) What is the corresponding P value?

  • Use the formula =1-(CHISQ.DIST(X2,df,TRUE)) to convert calculated X2 into a P value
  • Report your answer rounded to 4 decimal places

4.) Do you fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis?

5.) As a result of this statistical analysis, it is possible to conclude that pea plant height and pea plant blossom color (are or are not)  linked traits.

  1. Design a function called middle_value, that takes 3 integers, and returns the integer with the middle value. If there is a tie, any of the possible middle values can be returned. Example: middle_value(1, 2, 8) -> 2 middle_value(9, 7, 7) -> 7 middle_value(3, 3, 3) -> 3

  2. Design a function called combine_strings that takes two phrases and appends the longer string onto the back of the shorter one with no space between the two phrases joined. Example: If the phrases are “thought” and “after” the function should return “afterthought”, or “sea” and “food” would return “seafood”.

  3. Design a function called get_letter_at that takes a phrase and a number and returns the letter at the phrase at the given index (note that 0 would return the first letter in the phrase). If the number is too large, then just return an empty string: “ ”.
    Examples:

    get_letter_at("Anthony", 0) -> "A" get_letter_at("Anthony", 4) -> "o" get_letter_at("Anthony", 7) -> " "

  1. Design a function called brightness_modifier that takes an integer value that is either 0, 1, 2, or 3 representing the brightness level of a smartphone (0 means screen is off, up to 3 which means full brightness). The function should return a decimal number representing the modifier that the brightness level will affect the lifetime of battery of the device. For example:

    • - 0 brightness does not affect the battery life at all (returns 1.0)

    • - 1 brightness returns a 0.9 (the battery will last 90% of maximum battery lifetime)

    • - 2 brightness returns a .75 (the battery lasts 75% of maximum battery lifetime)

    • - 3 brightness returns a .5 (the battery only last 50% of maximum lifetime)

  2. Design a function called hours_remaining that takes two integers and a boolean as parameters and returns the total hours of battery life left. The parameters represent the percentage of battery life left, the brightness (0, 1, 2, 3) and whether the device is currently streaming video. This function MUST call and use the brightness_modifier function you designed for exercise 4.

    The hours left is calculated by the following formula:

    1. The amount of battery life left is calculated by the maximum battery life (15 hours – see the

      CONSTANT defined at the top of the file) multiplied by percentage of battery left.

    2. Applying the brightness_modifier to the total amount of battery life left.

    3. If the phone is currently streaming video, the hours remaining is cut in half.

For example, given hours_remaining(80, 2, true) produces:
(Note the FULL_BATTERY_LIFE = 15 constant defined at the top of the file) 15*80% = 12 hours of regular battery remaining.
12 hours remaining at 2 brightness level = 12*.75 modifier = 9 hours
9 hours of streaming video = 9*0.5 = 4.5 actual hours remaining

tests = 0
passed = 0

FULL_BATTERY_LIFE = 15

Test the given claim. Assume that a simple random sample is selected from a normally distributed population. Use either the​ P-value method or the traditional method of testing hypotheses.

Company A uses a new production method to manufacture aircraft altimeters. A simple random sample of new altimeters resulted in errors listed below. Use a 0.05 level of significance to test the claim that the new production method has errors with a standard deviation greater than 32.2​ ft, which was the standard deviation for the old production method. If it appears that the standard deviation is​ greater, does the new production method appear to be better or worse than the old​ method? Should the company take any​ action?
