Understanding the ways of predicting the chances of inheriting certain genetic traits makes up the value under the study of genetics. Such ability has enabled development of varieties of animals and plants that have most of the qualities that are a desirable prediction of inheritance patterns in family lineage. One of the methods that are used in determining the mathematical probability that a given trait would be inherited is the Punnett square. The Punnett square is a simple graphical method that is used to discover all the combinations of a given genotypes that can be passed to children in Continue reading...

Chi-Square Goodness-of-Fit Test

The chi-square goodness-of-fit-test is used to test whether the observed proportions for a categorical variable differ from hypothesized proportions. It is based on the principle, that two variables are not related. For example, let's suppose that students of some university have a choice of four elective foreign languages to study. The faculty predicts that Spanish, German, French and Chinese would have equal popularity of 25% each. After running this test, a p value will justify whether to reject the predicted null hypothesis. A chi-square goodness-of-fit test will evaluate whether the observed results differ from these hypothesized proportion.
In comparison Continue reading...

Introduction

Pythagoras theorem is named after a Greek mathematician Pythagoras who lived in 475BC. Despite the theorem being named after him, he was not the only ancient person who came up or probably used the theorem because the Babylonians and used it in ancient civilization. In the theorem Pythagoras creates a relationship between the hypotenuse and two sides of a right angled triangle as a2 + b2 = c2. Later on, mathematician from north Europe came up with Pythagoras triples to simplify on ways of obtaining sides of right angled triangles. As years went by, different mathematicians came up with different was Continue reading...

Introduction

Air rights are rights to develop the unfilled space situated above a physical property site. As with other categories of rights related to real estate, it is feasible to transfer these rights to other parties while preserving possession of the property itself. In extremely urbanized areas where the only potential course to construct is up, air rights are a burning topic of discussion and debate as developers tussle to expand their projects while still remaining inside the confinements of zoning law. In the past, property proprietors preserved fundamentally unlimited property rights. As human societies grew and Continue reading...

Chi Square statistic is a nonparametric statistical procedure that is used to compares the totals between categorical data. It is one of the most used types of nonparametric statistic which can be a one-way or two-way. The number of data two be compared is not limited to two as it can be several categories independent of each other. It is commonly used to compare an observed data with an assumption. The larger the value got from solving the Chi-Square this just means that the values of the two are apart thus the null hypothesis has proof to say that Continue reading...

- Describe a situation where a Goodness-of-Fit Test could be used
We know, that chi-square goodness-of-fit test is a non-parametric test which helps us to understand if there is a significant difference between observed and expected frequencies of some experiment.

Where f0 are observed frequencies, fe are expected frequencies.

For example, consider the coin tossed 100 times with the result of 65 tails and 35 heads. We want to test hypothesis if the coin is symmetric. If the coin is symmetric, then expected frequencies will be 50 and 50.
So,
X 2Pearson = (Oi-Ei) 2/Ei = (65-50) 2/50 + (35-50) 2/50 = 2*225/50 = 9.
The resulting value should be compared with Continue reading...

What is sunlight?

The sun provides tirelessly every square meter of the earth's surface, which it attacks, with an average of about 1370 watts of power (in the form of electromagnetic radiation). We say that the sun burns, but actually it does not. Instead, the sun is a giant nuclear reactor (Layton & Freudenrich, 2000). This solar energy is called the solar constant, since it does not change, except for minor fluctuations. Solar energy is sent in the form of light waves. Light is an electromagnetic wave. The frequency of light - or how fast the waves vibrate - determines the differences in Continue reading...
