BINOMIAL PROBABILITY &
HARDY-WEINBERG EQUILIBRIUM
Last Week : Sample Point Methods:Example: Use the Sample Point Method to find the probability of getting exactly two heads in three tosses of a balanced coin.
1. The sample space of this experiment is:
2. Assuming that the coin is fair, each of these 8 outcomes has a probability of 1/8.
3. The probability of getting two heads is the sum of the probabilities of outcomes 2, 3, and 4 (HHT, HTH, and THH), or 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 = 3/8 = 0.375.

Binomial Probability Distribution
Where, n = Total # of trials.
y = Total # of successes.
s = probability of getting success in a single trial.
f = probability of getting failure in a single trial (f = 1-s).
1. # of trials are independent, finite, and conducted under
the same conditions.
2. There are only two types of outcome.(Ex. success and
failure).
3. Outcomes are mutually exclusive and independent.
4. Probability of getting a success in a single trial remains
constant throughout all the trials.
5. Probability of getting a failure in a single trial remains
constant throughout all the trials.
6. # of success are finite and a non-negative integer (0,n)
Assumptions of Binomial Distribution
Properties of Binomial Distribution
Mean or expected # of successes in n trials, E(y) = ns
Variance of y, V(y) = nsf
Standard deviation of y, σ (y) = (nsf)1/2
Example: Find the probability of getting exactly 10 heads in 30
tosses of a balanced coin.Solution:
We know, n = 30y = 10s = 0.5 f = 0.5
Example: Find the expected # of heads in 30 tosses of a balanced coin. Also calculate variance.
Solution:
E(Y) = ns = 30*0.5 = 15
V(Y) = nsf = 30*0.5*0.5 = 7.5
Problem 1 (10 minutes)(2 points)
An allozyme locus has three alleles, A1,A2, and A3 with frequencies 0.847, 0.133, and 0.020, respectively. If we sample 30 diploid individuals, what is the probability of:
•Not finding any copies of A2?
•Finding at least one copy of A2?
•GRADUATE STUDENTS ONLY: Finding fewer than 2 copies of A2?
Example: How many diploid individuals should be sampled to detect at least one copy of allele A2 from Problem 1 with probability of at least 0.95?Solutions:
Thus, to detect at least one copy of allele A2 with probability of 0.95, one would need to sample at least 90 alleles (i.e., at least 45 diploid individuals).
Problem 2 (15 minutes)(2 points) Problem 2. The frequency of red-green color-blindness is 0.07 for men and 0.005 for women. You are designing a survey to determine the effect of color blindness on educational success. How many males and females would you have to sample to ensure that the probability including at least one color blind individual of each sex would be 0.90 or greater?
Estimation of allele frequency for Co-dominant locus
Where, p = Frequency of allele A1
q = Frequency of Allele A2
N11 = # of individuals with genotype A1A1
N12 = # of individuals with genotype A1A2
N22 = # of individuals with genotype A2A2
N = total # of diploid individuals =N11+N12+N22
Estimation of Standard Error
Where, p = Frequency of allele A1
q = Frequency of Allele A2
SEp = Standard error for frequency of allele A1
SEq = Standard error for frequency of allele A2
N = total # of diploid individuals =N11+N12+N22

Problem 4 (Time 10 min.)(2 pts)
Tay Sachs disease is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder causing the death of nerve cells in the brain due to the steady accumulation of gangliosides. Extensive genotyping has determined that approximately 1 in 30 of the 5 million Ashkenazi Jews within the United States is a carrier.
a) Assuming HWE and Mendelian inheritance of the disease, what is the frequency of the recessive allele in this population?
b) What is the SE of this estimate? (Assume 1,000 people were sampled)
c) How many affected children would you expect to be born in this population?
d) What are the assumptions of these estimates?
Hypothesis TestingHypothesis: Tentative statement for a scientific problem, that can be tested by further investigations. 1.Null Hypothesis(Ho): There is no significant difference in
observed and expected values.
2.Alternate Hypothesis(H1): There is a significant
difference in observed and expected values.
Example:
Ho = Fertilized and unfertilized crops have equal yields
H1 = Fertilized and unfertilized crops do not have equal yields
Remember: In final conclusion after the experiment ,we either –
"Reject H0 in favor of H1"
Or
“Fail to reject H0”,
Type I error: Error due to rejection of a null hypothesis, when it
is actually true (False positive).
Level of significance(LOS) (α) : Maximum probability
allowed for committing “type I error”.
At 5 % LOS (α=0.05), we accept that if we were to repeat the experiment many times, we would falsely reject the null hypothesis 5% of the time.
P- value:
Probability of committing type I error
If P-value is smaller than a particular
value of α, then result is significant at
that level of significance
Testing departure from HWEIn a randomly mating population, allele and genotype frequencies remain constant from
generation to generation.
Ho= There is no significant difference between observed and expected genotype frequencies (i.e. Population is in HWE)
H1= There is a significant difference between observed and expected genotype frequencies (i.e. Population is not in HWE)
HWE Assumptions
1. Random mating2. No selection
a. Equal numbers of offspring per parentb. All progeny equally fit
3. No mutation4. Single, very large population5. No migration

χ2 1160.488
The critical value (Table value) of χ2 at 1 df and at α=0.05 is approx. 3.84.
Conclusion: Because the calculated value of χ2 (1160.49) is greater than the critical value (3.84), we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative (Not in HWE).
