Step 3 - Determining Deviations
Next, in this case study, we will calculate how much the observed phenotypes differed from those that were expected. Put together a table such as the following, where the expected numbers are subtracted from the observed for each phenotype class. This difference is called the deviation (Table 1).
Class | Observed (O) | Expected (E) | Deviation (O-E) |
---|---|---|---|
Resistant | 141 | 147.75 | -6.75 |
Susceptible | 56 | 49.25 | +6.75 |
