Determine the point estimate of the population of proportion, the margin of error of the following confidence interval, and the number of individuals in the sample with specified characteristic, x, for the sample size provided. Lower bound = 0.326, Upper bound = 0.884, n=1000 Solution a) p^ (point estimate) = (upper + lower)/2 = (0.884+0.326)/2 = 0.605 [ANSWER] b) E (margin of error) = (upper - lower) / 2 = (0.884-0.326)/2 E = 0.279 [ANSWER] c) x = p^ n = 0.605*1000 = 605 [ANSWER].

1. Diastrophic dysplasia- Is an inherited autosomal recessive manner. D represents the normal allele
and d represents the mutant.
Achondroplasia- Inherited in an autosomal dominant manner A represents the mutant allele and a
represents the normal allele. AA individuals do not survive embryogenesis.
Both of these make the person small
Matt has Diastrophic dysplaisa who is the father.
The mother has Achondroplasia- whose family has no history of Diastrophic dysplaisa (assume
they are not carriers)
They have a son who is also small is it because ofDiastrophic dysplaisa or Achondroplasia. How
do you know?
Solution
The genotypes of the parents are (Mother) AaDD X aadd (Father)
Their offspring will be AaDd- who will be exhibiting the character Achondroplasia as it is
autosomal dominant
