STATISTICAL ANALYSIS AND PROBABILITY
s = sample standard deviation (i.e., the sample
based estimate of the standard deviation of the
population)
x = mean
n = size of the sample
o = observed individuals with observed genotype
e = expected individuals with observed genotype
Degrees of freedom equals the number of distinct
possible outcomes minus one.

LAWS OF PROBABILITY
If A and B are mutually exclusive, then P (A or B) = P(A) + P(B)
If A and B are independent, then P (A and B) = P(A) x P(B)

Mode = value that occurs most frequently in a data set

Mean = sum of all data points divided by number of data points
Range = value obtained by subtracting the smallest observation (sample minimum) from the greatest (sample maximum)

Water Potential ()
= p + s
p = pressure potential
s = solute potential
The water potential will be equal to the
solute potential of a solution in an open
container, since the pressure potential
of the solution in an open container is
zero.
The Solute Potential of the Solution
s = iCRT
i = ionization constant (For sucrose
this is 1.0 because sucrose does not
ionize in water.)
C = molar concentration
R = pressure constant (R = 0.0831 liter
