Chromosomes and DNA

Genes are contained within chromosomes, which are made of DNA and located in the cell nucleus. A chromosome contains thousands of genes. Every normal human contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, a total of 46 chromosomes.

Traits and Alleles

A trait is any gene-determined characteristic, often determined by more than one gene. Gene: A segment of DNA that controls a hereditary trait. Alleles are different versions of a gene that produce distinguishable traits in offspring. Two alleles must be present in order for a trait to appear in the offspring. One allele is provided by each parent to the offspring. When fertilization of sperm and eggs occurs, the new offspring will have 2 alleles for each gene.

Discrete Random Variables

Discrete random variables are variables that can take on a finite number of distinct values. In simpler terms, a discrete random variable is a set of possible outcomes that is countable.

Continuous Random Variables

Continuous random variables are random variables that take an infinitely uncountable number of potential values, typically measurable amounts.

Example

The sample space is: S = {NNN, NND, NDN, NDD, DNN, DND, DDN, DDD}

  1. Count the number of defective keyboards in each outcome in the sample space and assign this number to the outcome. For instance, if you list NND, then the number of defective keyboards is 1.

The possible values of X are 0,... Continue reading "Introduction to Statistics: Discrete and Continuous Random Variables, Probability Distributions, and Sampling Techniques" »
