### Name: binom.test ### Title: Exact Binomial Test ### Aliases: binom.test ### Keywords: htest ### ** Examples ## Conover (1971), p. 97f. ## Under (the assumption of) simple Mendelian inheritance, a cross ## between plants of two particular genotypes produces progeny 1/4 of ## which are "dwarf" and 3/4 of which are "giant", respectively. ## In an experiment to determine if this assumption is reasonable, a ## cross results in progeny having 243 dwarf and 682 giant plants. ## If "giant" is taken as success, the null hypothesis is that p = ## 3/4 and the alternative that p != 3/4. binom.test(c(682, 243), p = 3/4) binom.test(682, 682 + 243, p = 3/4) # The same. ## => Data are in agreement with the null hypothesis.
