DNA analysts calculate the likelihood that a person is consistent with an evidentiary DNA profile. Why do we never say the DNA is a 100% match? Please explain why we use statistics.
Homework Answers
In Forensic sciences, evidentiary DNA sample sequence is matched with suspected individuals. The one with maximum similarity in sequence is consistent with the DNA in question, but we can never be 100% sure of this match.
Analysts calculate the likelihood of a person being consistent with a given DNA sample. We never say the DNA is a 100% match. This is because there can be other individuals in the population with same sequence entirely due to random chance. Apart from this fact, there are chances of error during handling and processing of DNA samples, which means efficiency can never be 100%for DNA profile matching experiments.

It is commonly believed that the more often we encounter someone, the more we end up liking the person. If the person “mirrors” our actions when we talk to them (e.g., smiling when we smile, touching our hair when we touch our hair), we like them even more than previous tests show. To test this hypothesis, a researcher has randomly assigned equal numbers of male (n=10) and female (n=10) students to meet with a confederate who they have never met...

If we are interested in parameters, why do we calculate statistics, instead? 1. 2. Martha is going to take a sample of 10,000 dogs. She is interested in finding out how long it takes the average dog to run 100 meters. Because many dogs are big and fast and many dogs are small and (relatively) slow, the distribution of how long it takes to run 100 meters is not at all normal. Why is it safe for Martha to assume...

1. Why do we need different formulas to calculate test statistics and obtain p-values? Select all that apply. V The choice of test statistic depends on whether data is randomly sampled or not; this determines the sampling distribution.

If the defensive types of language most often create negative communication climate, explain why you feel we use this type of language so often when interacting with others with whom we share a relationship. What is one strategy you think you can use to do a better job of using supportive language (or avoid using defensive language) to create a positive communication climate? Imagine that you were the recipient of one of the defensive language statements given above and described...
