Similarity indices and genetic distance The overall mean similarity index for Brassica oleracea accessions calculated based on all AFLP fragments amplified using Nei’s (1978) similarity index, ranged from 0.297 to 0.999 with an average of 0.744 (Table 3). The highest similarity indices (0.999) and the lowest genetic distance (0.001) were between the accessions of the same crop variety and geographical region, e.g. spring cabbage HRIGRU4564 and HRIGRU4571 from Cork. Accessions having close…

1. Descriptive analysis of RR% and GR% The mean is a measure of central tendency that obtained by dividing the sum of observed values by the number of observations, n. Data points can fall above, below, or even on the mean, it is widely considered a good estimate for predicting subsequent data points. . For the retention rate (RR %), the mean is 57.41 while it is 41.76 for GR%, the dependent variable. The minimum and maximum are basically the least and highest observed value. For the retention…

unexamined life is not worth living,” would you agree with him? What temperature is the windchill right now? Can some animals choose to be nocturnal? Has the iPhone been the greatest invention of our generation? Why do we care about traveling around the world? Is it unusual to see a purple tiger? Are you tired all the time? Are getting enough sleep? Should you sleep more? How many seconds on average are in a human lifespan? Why do we stereotype people? How tall are you? Is “to be, or not to…

Each totaltraffic graph in the method section shows the server or the client with the above RTT and Window Size as incoming and outgoing traffic. The horizontal axis represents the time in seconds and the vertical axis represents the measured traffic in bytes. The graphs presents the increase of traffic once the experiments starts and ends. Case 3. In comparing the window size and RTT staying the same, the traffic decrease once the window size increase. In comparing RTT and the window size…

Option 11: List the three principles of fingerprints A fingerprint is an individual characteristic. no two people have been found. with the exact same fingerprint pattern. A fingerprint pattern will remain unchanged for the life of an individual; Fingerprint evidence, is undoubtedly the most reliable and acceptable evidence for individual identification, till date, in the court of law (Tandon, Sircar, Chowdhry, & Popli, 2016). Individual characteristic, out of the millions of sets of prints that…

Results Pearson-R Correlation The data underwent correlational analysis using the Pearson-R coefficient and obtained the following results: Table 1. N E O A C SPS Pearson Correlation .562** -.273** .022 -.294** -.218** Sig.

September 25, 2015 Descriptive statistics I can describe the data with the help of descriptive statistics. The data can be described with the help of various types of graphs and central tendency. Measures of central tendency are mean, median and mode. Mean is reliable for normal data. Median is reliable for a data which has outliers. And mode is preferred when data is categorical. There are various types of graphs like pie chart, bar graph which gives us a pictorial representation…

1) where the true mean of the difference of history chapter pages read is the unknown variable, there is significant statistical evidence at the standard 0.05 alpha value that listening to music while reading or studying increases scope of study. Because the t-value is positive, it is reasonable to note that listening to one’s favored music has a positive impact on reading larger quantities. 95% of all samples of differences in pages of history books read taken will have a mean between 0.1101…

Purpose To investigate the effect of temperature on the rate of the thiosulphate reaction. Hypothesis If the temperature increases, then the rate of the thiosulphate reaction will also increase. Variables Independent variable: Temperature change in each experiment, which will be varied by increasing the temperature by 10°C each time. Dependent Variable: Rate of reaction, which will be measured by measuring the time taken for the cross to not be visible. Constants: Concentration of HCl and…

choosing the appropriate market risk premium. There are two historical equity risk premiums given for a time period from 1926 to 1999: Geometric mean and arithmetic mean. The geometric mean is a better estimate for longer life valuation while the arithmetic mean is better for a one-year estimated expected return. Therefore, we chose to use the geometric mean to coincide with the choice to use the 20-year yield on U.S. Treasuries, which is 5.9 percent. Next, we had to decide on a beta to use for…
