Office Hours!!!

Hello all,

As always, I will hold my office hours today at 3pm. The location however will NOT be at starbucks, but in the third floor lounge at the Whitehead. Exit the elevators on the third floor and head right. You will walk through some lab space until you reach the lounge on your left. The walls are glass, so it is pretty hard to miss. See you soon.

Best, Stephanie K

Review Session Answers Posted

Note the following changes:
- In population genetics problem part a, I said expected Aa was 22.75, but it is actually 45.5 (forgot to multiply by pq by 2). The chi-square value should be about 11, not 8.6.
- In pop genetics ques part c, I doubled pop Y on my own copy of the ques, but forgot to do so on your handouts. That's why f(Y) = 2/3, not 1/2.
** These corrections have been made on the posted answers.

Best of luck studying for the final,
Yun
