The experiment three data from Blount et al. is shown in the table below. The expected numbers of mutants under the null hypothesis (constant mutation rate) is also shown.
The experiment three data from Blount et al. is shown in the table below. The expected numbers of mutants under the null hypothesis (constant mutation rate) is also shown. As for Experiment 1, the p-value of 0.22 might appear to suggest that the null hypothesis should be accepted. But for exactly the same reason as in Experiment 1, this p-value is highly conservative (in statistical terms) and cannot be considered a reliable test of the null hypothesis.
