Question
Let A and B represent two variants (alleles) of the DNA at a certain locus on the genome. Assume that 40% of all the alleles in a certain
population are type A and 30% are type B. The locus is said to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium if the proportion of organisms that are
of type AB is (0.40) (0.30)=0.12. In a sample of 300 organisms, 43.00 are of type AB. Can you conclude that this locus is not in Hardy-
Weinberg equilibrium? Find the P-value and state a conclusion. (Round the final answer to four decimal places.)
The P-value is
